Andrea Möller

Andrea Möller is a Professor in the Department of Evolutionary Biology at the Faculty of Life Sciences. She is affiliated with the Centre for Teacher Education and the Center for Science Education Research (AECCs). Her research focuses on science education, particularly in biology and environmental topics, emphasizing student learning processes and teacher preparedness. She leads projects like the "Hopeful and resilience perspective in climate change education" (2024-2027), aiming to enhance action competence through education.

Research interests include plant awareness, biodiversity conservation, and cognitive aspects of scientific experimentation. She explores how students perceive nature and climate change, advocating for effective educational strategies to foster environmental literacy and pro-environmental behaviors.

Recent Research Trends: Recent work highlights climate change education strategies, the role of teachers in promoting climate literacy, and interdisciplinary approaches to biodiversity education. She also investigates cognitive processes in scientific writing and the impact of online education on evolutionary biology understanding.

• Award: BNE Award 2021 - 1st place in the "Cooperating" category.

Advising & Grants: Current project funding: "Hopeful and resilience perspective in climate change education" (2024-2027). She has extensive collaborations, including talks and workshops on topics like biodiversity education and plant blindness.

Labs/Teams: Involved with the BioGeoLab and Lehr-Lern-Labore, which focus on interdisciplinary and experimental learning environments to enhance educational practices in biology and environmental sciences.
