Analysing the Storyline Approach’s Competence-Developing Potential for Climate Change in Science Education

Climate Change is the greatest threat to mankind and the biosphere. It challenges Science Education from many points of view, including searching for effective ways to enable citizens to make decisions, embrace complexity, deal with uncertainty and envision possible futures. Two approaches are used to assess the influence of Anthropogenic Climate Change in extreme weather events: the so-called risk-based approach and the storyline one. In this study, we compared these two approaches from a Science Education point of view to understand if they have the same potential to develop sustainability competences in secondary school students.
