Abstract

The aim of this thesis was to develop and evaluate a Ecological Professional Development Model to support preservice biology teachers to direct their own subject-specific ecological professional development route. Various characteristics of the model were tested in isolation and in combination and an ecological approach to agency that could theoretically substantiate these characteristics was further developed.
