Assoc. Prof. Dr. Çiğdem Han Tosunoğlu, a faculty member of our department, will deliver a seminar at Humboldt University, where she is conducting her research activities within the scope of the TÜBİTAK 2219 – International Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Program.

In the seminar, climate change education will be addressed from the perspective of teacher professional development within the framework of her research project titled “Empowering Science Teachers: Designing, Implementing, and Evaluating Professional Development Programs for Effective Climate Change Education.”

The project aims to design, implement, and evaluate a professional development program that supports secondary school science teachers in teaching climate change more effectively. It also examines psychological dimensions such as teachers’ motivation, emotional processes, and their interest in climate action in a holistic manner.

We congratulate our esteemed colleague for this valuable academic contribution to the field and wish her continued success.
