Biology teachers play an essential role in evolution education. Nevertheless, evolution remains a challenging topic for students and teachers alike because of a wide variety of conceptual and social barriers. Evolution: Education and Outreach invites contributions to a special issue on the challenges of and possible solutions to effective evolution education in pre-service and in-service biology teachers. Manuscripts may include theoretical perspectives, literature reviews, or qualitative and quantitative empirical research. Questions may include: What constitutes effective teacher preparation in evolution? What variables foster or hinder teachers’ intentions to teach evolution effectively? What types of educational experiences produce positive impacts? How can educators help prepare teachers to effectively engage with students’ unscientific ideas about evolution? Questions about the special issue may be directed to Guest Editors Anat Yarden (Weizmann Institute of Science), Ute Harms (IPN – Leibniz-Institute for Science and Mathematics Education), or Editor-in-Chief Ross Nehm.
Submissions are due May 1, 2022
