Teacher Development

The goal of the MINT Learning Center at ETH Zurich is the sustainable optimization of school-based learning opportunities in the STEM subjects. To improve general science education, researchers at the MINT Learning Center—in collaboration with gymnasium teachers—are developing teaching units for central topics in physics, mathematics, and chemistry.

The collaboration combines cutting-edge research with wisdom of practice. During the course of this collaboration, teachers benefit from being introduced to empirically-validated teaching practices and materials, while researchers benefit from seeing their work tested in the field
