The purpose of this study is to identify the effect of a short term educational intervention for upcoming biology teachers to teach principles of Evidence-based Medicine (EbM) and Good Scientific Practice (GSP) to high-school biology students.
Shared decision making is increasingly demanded by patients in order to take part in health care decisions. However this demand for autonomy can only be used for shared decision making if the patient has basic skills in critical health literacy. To transfer health care literacy to young and healthy consumers educational intervention programs at high-school might be a feasible and effective way. This preliminary phase 2 study is designed to investigate the effect of an educational intervention to be integrated in a curriculum for upcoming teachers in biology.

| Standard educational intervention | Behavioral | Educational intervention on the didactics of biology (4-day-course) not containing elements of Evidence-based Medicine, Good Scientific Practice or Problem-based learning. |
|
| Skills in teaching principles of EbM and GSP to high school students in intervention group |
Skill in teaching principles of EbM and GSP are evaluated for preparation of lessons using a standardized preparation form and performance of lessons evaluated by transcription of video tapes from each participant in the intervention group using a consented evaluation catalogue |
| After educational intervention (day 5) |
| Overall acceptance of educational intervention study participants | Overall acceptance of educational intervention is evaluated by standardized questionnaires at day 2 and day 4 in the educational intervention group. | During (day 2) and after intervention (day 4) |
| Overall acceptance of study lessons for biology high-school students | Overall acceptance of study lessons for biology high-school students is evaluated by a standardized questionnaire at day 5. | After study lessons (day 5) |
