Constantly changing European societies and economics require permanent focusing on new developments. In our project, we want to aim at stimulating high-quality, innovative ways of teaching and learning through new approach. Opening up education proposes actions towards more open learning environments to deliver education of higher quality and efficacy and thus contributing to the Europe 2020 goals.
To succeed in this new information-based and highly technological society, students need to develop their capabilities in STEM to levels much beyond what was considered acceptable in the past. STEM education creates critical thinkers, increases science literacy, and enables the next generation of innovators.
The general objective of our project is to motivate teachers of STEM and other vocational subjects to use multidisciplinary approach in teaching, with a support of ICT. The more specific objective is to suggest and recommend for implementation a model of integrating STEM subjects and ICT in teaching and project-based learning. By using this approach, students should gain enhanced learning outcomes.
To achieve and fulfil the objectives, main project activities will be:
- Survey on teaching STEM containing a list of STEM subjects taught in each partner school, list of topics/chapters, learning outcomes, textbooks used, digital tools involved, methods of teaching and assessing students in partner schools, experience with a multidisciplinary approach in teaching, examples of best practices.
- Survey on digital potential of partner schools made by a SELFIE test
- Methodological guide will contain a practical guidance for planning and creating a STEM lesson and for implementing it in common teaching practice.
- eBook will form a portfolio consisting of multidisciplinary lessons. It will integrate STEM subjects (possibly also e.g. history, geography ...); use of ICT and digital tools will be integrated as well. An integral part of the e-Book will be three e-evaluation forms (e-evaluation of teachers toward students, e-self-evaluation of students toward themselves, e-peer-evaluation of students toward other students).
- Project for students. Teachers from partner school will specify together a content for one project with various kinds of complex assignments/tasks covering entire area of STEM subjects. It will contain various activity components: videos, quizzes, problem solving etc. Final assessment will be carried out according 3 types of e-evaluation forms that had been developed as a part of the eBook.
- International team competition for students. Three international teams of students and will produce a visual presentation on a given STEM topic.
