In this episode, we are joined by Benedikt Gottshclich from Tübingen University. While discussing the current state of German education, we will also focus on Benedikt's research into the benefits of contextualizing science education. Physics is often rated as the most poorly taught and least popular science discipline in schools. Benedikt and his colleagues believe that by contextualizing the often abstract ideas and principles found in physics, students can gain a better understanding of the subject. Furthermore, we will also discuss the differences among genders in terms of academic performance, what might cause them, and how they could be resolved.
