Main Part. Project objectives, In the project 14 partners work together to raise awareness to responsible Research and Innovation through Inquiry Based Science Education. In order to do this Universities work together with Science Centers and schools. In the 10 countries participating in this project ‘Communities of Learners’ are formed in which researchers, teachers, educational specialists and specialists in informal learning from science centers work together. If possible specialists from industry are added to the CoL. Within each country a central theme was chosen as the theme for the material to be developed by the CoL. The CoL’s will develop educational material that can be used in schools in the age range from 10 to 18. The educational material uses a methodology based on Inquiry Based Science Education as a guideline in the development of the material. In this particular case the so-called 5 E method was adapted to include a sixth E, Exchange. In the first three steps (Engage, Explore and Explain) the scientific knowledge is discussed. In the second part (Elaborate and Exchange) focus is on Responsible Research and Innovation aspects. Students are asked to develop an exhibit that demonstrates these aspects to the public. These exhibits are displayed in the science centre. In the Evaluation phase the material is reviewed and students are tested on their scientific knowledge. The material produced in each CoL will be tested with at least one group of students. This way each CoL will reach at least 5 teachers and 125 students during the first year The material of the first round of CoL’s will be collected and translated in English. Each country will be able to use the material from its partners. In the second round of XxX’s each teacher will be coach for at least 5 other teachers in using one of the modules developed in the first round. That way each country will have reached at least 25 teachers and 5 coaches with around 900 students. Dissemination Dissemination will take place on both national and international scale using platforms like the division of chemical education of EUCHEMS, the Committee on Chemistry Education of IUPAC as well as ECTN. On the next page an example of a poster presented at a meeting in Rome is shown. Work progress and achievements.
Main Part. Decisive element of the lesson - Execution of planned exercises - Training of endurance, strength, speed, technique, etc.
Main Part. 2.1 workshop part I In the first part of the workshop various tools and possibilities to use Web2.0/App technologies were presented. After a welcome and short introduction, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx of Bogazici University presented results of a recent survey she conducted on the use of apps in teaching in Turkey. In the following, several tools from the app guide where highlighted in the presentation, including small examples on how they could be used. Tools from all eight categories of the guide (Project Tools, Image Work, Measuring, Mobile Office, Collaborative work, Knowledge, Tools, Exhibition) were shown. As start for the collaboration tools section, Xxxxxx Rap of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel gave an introduction on how to use Facebook as a tool in classroom and beyond. Impressions from the workshop in Kiel: left: part I, presentation of tools; right: part II, team 2 measuring the acceleration of the elevators.
Main Part. The vodcasts were conceived with a focus on the IRRESISTIBLE Project and on the exhibitions related with cutting edge scientific and technological issues addressing the concept of Responsible Research and Innovation. These vodcasts were conceived with the aim 1) to disseminate the project, 2) to present practical ways of introducing RRI in an educational context and 3) to highlight the potentialities of interactive scientific exhibitions as an educational strategy to promote scientific literacy and active citizenship, in order to raise the awareness of the community on Responsible Research and Innovation.
