Auch wenn das Wetter gerade eher herbstlich ist, beschäftigen wir uns mit dem Thema Lehren und Lernen an heißen Tagen. Wir sprechen über Publikationen zum Einfluss des Wetters auf die kognitive Leistung und geben praktische Tipps, wie der Lernerfolg trotz schweißtreibender Temperaturen möglich wird.Quellen:Park, R.J., Behrer, A.P. & Goodman, J.

Harvard UniversityDesigning for climate changeA new study from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health found that students who lived in dormitories without air conditioning during a heat wave performed worse on a series of simple tests compared with students who lived in air-conditioned dorms. The findings show that the effects of extreme heat are not just felt by those typically thought of as vulnerable—such as the elderly. And with global temperatures on the rise, the research underscores the need for sustainable design solutions in mitigating the health impacts of extreme heat.
In this week's episode, we'll speak with the authors of th...
