Excited Children in Science Class

Science Activities at Partners' Schools

The Croatian partner has carried out the following STEM activities during the project: 

TURKEY

SLOVAKIA​

CROATIA

GREECE

POLAND

SWEDEN

Slovakia

Education and training systems need to adapt to the challenges and opportunities posed by fast technology developments.  The teachers then can pass on the newly gained knowledge to their colleagues and most importantly to their students.

 

Objectives:

​

  1. Support teachers with high quality teaching resources

  2. Transfer of innovative STEM teaching methods to numerous teachers, to enable them to explore and share innovative tools and techniques

  3. Boost a Europe-wide collaboration among STEM teachers as well as education researchers and education professionals, exchanging innovative, effective and engaging approaches to STEM education.

  4. Enable students to develop STEM and 21st-century skills including technology literacy, productivity, communication, problem solving, critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, decision making, leadership, entrepreneurship, acceptance of failure and more.

  5. Explore the use of ICT (web 2.0 tools) in STEM education, to enhance its introduction in traditional teaching methods and create technology-rich learning environments for both teachers and students.

Implementation

The project's main target groups are primary school teachers, students (7-11) and educational institutions.  This project will greatly improve students':

  • list

 

Teachers will be empowered to be more confident, to further developing their capabilities across key competencies such as digital skills, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and the ability to problem solve. Teacher's will:

  • Improve their list

​

The project activities are developed in order the achieve its objectives, therefore we will implement the following:

  • Problem solving workshops, role play, game based learning, interactive workshops delivered to students and teachers during the mobilities

  • Share best teaching practice 

  • Introduce schools/teachers/educators to content and language integrated learning (CLIL), therefore developing cross-curricular teaching programme for the schools

  • Use eTwinning in order to collaborate with the partner institutions and the final findings will be published there being available for teachers across Europe 

  • Develop the Primary Science Education Platform, which will aid target groups to further develop their skills

 

Additionally, the mobility activities make it possible for both students and teachers to acquire knowledge about the partner institutions' geography, history and culture, including how the institutions function, therefore being part of the citizenship education. We will transfer innovative teaching methods to a large number of teachers, through the development of the project output. We will help students to develop important transversal skills such as creative thinking, problem solving, etc., which they can utilise in school and also in the near future in the labour market. 

Expected Impact

It is anticipated that the project will achieve the following short term, medium and long term impacts: 

 

  • Increased awareness about the innovative STEM teaching methodologies

  • Increased awareness about the importance of cooperation and collaboration among organisations

  • Improved conception of social inclusion

  • Students will improve their self-esteem and confidence 

  • Students’ eagerness to learn will increase, regardless of the educational, social and economic obstacles they face.

  • Improved ability to stay up to date with the needs of the changing world by means of education

  • Increased support and involvement of other local stakeholders, local and regional authorities, companies, etc.
