Hi Adventure. You haven't been much around lately (only a couple of minutes).

[Adventure]

Yes I know. I was visiting some good friends and doing some preparations for school.

[Mistery]

Ah, I see. Do you start next week?

[Adventure]

Yes monday everything starts again. But now you are here, what kind of rersearches did you do? You were talking about them earlier.

[Mistery]

Yes, it's about science education. I worked on 3 projects so far:

My first project was about interdisciplinary education in science (that means not only teaching e.g. physics or chemistry but also related topics like environmental issues). I did a research on how teachers dealt with this, what they thought about it, where they saw difficulties etc. And upon the results I made up a course for in-service teachers and accompanied the course with a lot of data collection to see what impact the course had.

Later I did an analysis on all the science curricula in Switzerland for grades 1.-9. (we have a lot of different curricula in every Canton).

And my latest project (well it's not mine but I do a part of it) is about physics education. It was a video study but there are also a lot of other data. And my task is it to evaluate all the interviews with teachers from Switzerland and from Germany and to make a comparison. I should have finished it before I started my new job, but it's too much material and I also have to write a final report on it aswell.

That seems a LOT of work. Don't you find it boring sometimes?

[Mistery]

Well, boring is not the right word, but sometimes it needs much discipline to bring up enough motivation. It's a lonesome work.

i made i new pic on doodle bored go look lol

[Mistery]

Which one? The blue bunny? Or the nature with birds?

[Adventure]

@Mistery.
Well I understand that. I have that too sometimes, e.g. my report about nutrients and digesty. Very interesting but so much work. On a specific point I got "crazy" of all the information. There was more then I could take and I made more of it, then needed.

Hi Bige! I don't know what doodle is, so where can I find it?
BTW I can't see your profile pic, did you delete it?

[Mistery]

The Doodle Board is just at the top of the General Chat Category (just above all threads).

Yes, Bige's profile pic seems to be gone (was it on a temporary free host?)

[Adventure]

WTH? If I post something in the doodle board thread it isn't shown. I try it twice out, twice nothing!!!! What happened?

[Mistery]
