Video presentation on styles of thinking at online DUN conference 2020

Frederik Voetmann Christiansen, Jonas Tarp Jørgensen and Bente Gammelgaard from the IQ-Lab project group have contributed with a video presentation about genres of empirical work in the sciences in this year’s online conference hosted by DUN - the Danish Network for Educational Development in Higher Education.

The study discussed examples of courses involving lab work or field work, and considers how different styles of thinking (Crombie, Hacking) come into play in different ways. The robustness of the styles of thinking, their cross cutting nature, and their emphasis on distinct modes of knowledge production in the sciences make them a fruitful basis for considering the general aims of science education – and also for understanding the objectives of empirical work in university science.
