Lesson Observations in Finland

From the 17th to the 20th February 2020, the members of the participating universities and four teachers from Germany, Austria and Cyprus met at the Vaajakumpu School in Finland to observe lessons of the Finnish teachers. The teaching observations in biology, chemistry, physics and geography, which amounted to nine in total, allowed all participants to gain an insight into science teaching and school life at a Finnish school. The impressions and results gained in the reflections of the lesson observations showed possibilities of differentiation, and respectively revealed unresolved challenges in the development of the differentiation concept.
