Ep.4 - Bruno Gioia Sandler: Democratic education
Traditionally when we think about education, we imagine children following a strict curriculum which is usually established by adults. In this scenario, children often have a minimal role in deciding what or how they learn. Democratic education seeks to resolve this by emphasizing the freedom of children to chose their own path through education. In this episode, we will discuss what democratic education is and how it could affect society with Bruno Gioia Sandler.

Ep.3 - Benedikt Gottschlich: Contextualizing science education in Germany
In this episode, we are joined by Benedikt Gottshclich from Tübingen University. While discussing the current state of German education, we will also focus on Benedikt's research into the benefits of contextualizing science education.

Benedikt and his colleagues believe that by contextualizing the often abstract ideas and principles found in physics, students can gain a better understanding of the subject. Furthermore, we will also discuss the differences among genders in terms of academic performance, what might cause them, and how they could be resolved.
