New Perspectives in Science Education
Süleyman Turşucu
Institution: Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, Powl Docenten ILO, University of Amsterdam
Country: The Netherlands
Süleyman Turşucu studied physics at Leiden University, after which he obtained his teaching qualification at Utrecht University. He has been serving as a senior physics
teacher for a considerable period of time. In addition to his teaching role, he earned his doctoral degree in 2019 from Delft University of Technology, focusing on
improving the application of mathematics in physics in senior pre-university education.
Currently, he is employed as a physics teacher at Wolfert Bilingual in Rotterdam. Furthermore, he holds positions as a teaching methodologist in physics and as a researcher in science education at the University of Amsterdam.
Although his doctoral degree is at the intersection of mathematics and physics in secondary education, he has become increasingly interested in citizenship education in upper secondary education. Specifically, the focus lies on enhancing the refutation of false information on social media through reasoned argumentation. In addition to
knowledge and skills from the curriculum, critical thinking and the formulation of reasoned arguments play a significant role.
