Abstract

Abstract Under the SciCar project (scicar.eu), job shadowing and site visit activities were organised in science and science education research laboratories in order to support science teacher educators and PhD students in science education, having a background in science or science education research, to become aware about science careers and how they can support pre-service science teachers develop approaches for science career awareness. The following paper puts forward examples aimed at demonstrating how a job shadowing program and 2 site visits were supported for participants to become familiar with scientific research, within in the framework of Scientific Career Awareness (SciCar) European project (scicar.eu). At the end of the activities, the participants claimed that these activities supported their career awareness and they learned how to encourage their students to choose career paths in scientific fields.
