Recontextualising cellular respiration in upper secondary biology education: Characteristics and practicability of a learning and teaching strategy by Menno Wierdsma, Marie-Christine Knippels, Bert van Oers and Kerst Boersma - 239-250 - 50(3) 0021-9266 .

Since concepts may have different meanings in different contexts, students have to learn to recontextualise theme, i.e., to adapt their meanings to a new context. It is unclear, however, what characteristics a learning and teaching strategy for recontextualising should have. The study aims to develop such a leaning and teaching strategy for cellular respiration. The strategy consists of a storyline, consisting of three contexts, with embedded cognitive elements and some episodes focussed on recontextualising cellular respiration. Testing the strategy was largely practicable.
