New grant to study Wonder

A newly funded project, entitled Validation study of Wonder Chart and Wonder-full Education Questionnaire in British school children, will launch at the ALL in 2021. We will be studying how primary school children experience wonder in their learning process, and how teachers and school leaders understand the role of wonder in education settings and its effects on school climate and learning outcomes. This project is conducted in collaboration with Anders Schinkel and the Wonderful Education Project team and funded by the John Templeton Foundation. You can read more on the topic in the open source book, Wonder, education and human flourishing. which also includes our chapter:
