معرفی
Hauke Hellwig is a Lecturer at the Department of Biology Didactics and Teaching/Learning Research within the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at Humboldt University of Berlin. His academic work focuses on the intersection of biology education, environmental education, and education for sustainable development, examining how these fields converge in classroom practice.
Dr. Hellwig's research primarily investigates how biology teachers conceptualize and implement environmental education in their classrooms, with particular attention to developing students' non-subject-specific environmental competencies. His work often employs comparative approaches, examining differences between German and Swedish teachers' concepts and approaches to sustainability education. He has published extensively on topics including the ecological footprint concept, nature experience in biology education, and the integration of sustainability principles into biology curricula.
His publication record from 2006-2019 demonstrates an evolving research trajectory from foundational studies on teachers' concepts of environmental education toward more specific applications and methodologies. Recent work has increasingly focused on practical tools for developing sustainability-oriented action competence and examining the potential and limitations of various teaching approaches, including digital nature experiences and multisensory learning through animal sounds.
Dr. Hellwig has been consistently active in the biology education research community, regularly presenting at major conferences including the International Conference of European Researchers in Didactics of Biology (ERIDOB) and meetings of the German Society for Biology Education. His work bridges theoretical educational frameworks with practical classroom applications, often connecting with teacher training initiatives and school-based educational programs.
