Dieser praxisnahe Fachratgeber zeigt Lehrpersonen, wie wissenschaftspropädeutischer Unterricht lebendig und effektiv gestaltet werden kann. Anschaulich wird vermittelt, wie gute wissenschaftliche Praxis und der kritische Umgang mit Informationen systematisch in den Unterricht integriert werden.Im Mittelpunkt steht der kompetente Umgang mit Fachtexten: von der reinen Informationsentnahme hin zu einem reflektierten und kritischen Lesen, das auf theoretischem Verständnis und der Einordnung der Texte in ihren fachlichen Kontext beruht. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Wissenschaftspropädeutik nicht ausschließlich ein Thema der Sekundarstufe II ist. Gerade in Zeiten von Fake News, digitalen Medien und Künstlicher Intelligenz ist sie auch in der Sekundarstufe I von grundlegender Bedeutung – insbesondere dort, wo regelmäßig mit Sachtexten gearbeitet wird.Ein gesonderter Teil widmet sich den MINT-Fächern Mathematik, Biologie, Chemie, Informatik und Physik. Hier werden wissenschaftliche Denk- und Arbeitsweisen, Erkenntnisgewinnungsprozesse durch Experimente, Modellbildung und Simulation sowie kritisches, methodisches und verantwortungsbewusstes Entscheiden behandelt.Das Buch bietet eine Vielzahl an Praxisbeispielen für beide Sekundarstufen, mit besonderem Fokus auf den (digitalen) Umgang mit Fach- und Sachtexten.Die enge Verzahnung von Theorie und Praxis – veranschaulicht durch zwölf Unterrichtsbeispiele aus zehn verschiedenen Fächern – macht diesen Ratgeber zu einem wertvollen Begleiter für Lehrpersonen aller Schulformen, die ihre Schülerinnen und Schüler zu wissenschaftlichem Denken und Handeln befähigen möchten.
