Outcomes

  • D0.0 ISE Teacher Guide

    This Teacher Guide aims to support science teachers in navigating through ISE's methodology, tools and resources so as to create and deliver inquiry-based educational scenarios to use with students in their science classroom.
  • D2.1 Synthesis of State-of-the-Art, Opportunities for Collaboration and Integration and Expected Impact

    This deliverable corresponds to the general objective of Work Package 2 to guarantee coherence and integration of all project components in order to provide a system view of the project. It includes a detailed analysis of the state-of-the-art of technology enhanced science education in schools, an exploration of learning innovation in Europe over the past decade and a description of an optimization/integration approach which aims to guarantee all possible synergies among WP activities of the project and related projects/networks/resources that might help maximize the project impact.
  • D2.2 Integrated Operational Design Strategy

    Large scale innovation projects such as Inspiring Science Education with their aim to reach and impact STEM education in over 27 European countries are organisationally complicated. As such as the ISE project design included a methodological work package with the purpose of providing a support programme to help address organisational challenges such as the differences in focus between those supporting the technological components and those working in educational settings. The Integrated Operational Design Strategy draws from data gathered among the project partners on the perceived challenges in delivering this project. This was done through a qualitative survey, observation of the ISE organisational dynamics and a workshop at the second project management meeting. This deliverable describes the strategy underlying the work to be done in WP2.
  • D2.3 Stakeholders' Validated Project Implementation Plan and Report 2

    The Deliverable 2.3 'Stakeholders' Validated Project Implementation Plan and Report 2' is intended to serve both as a reflective progress report and as a formative instrument of a holistic approach to the implementation of the project. It is consolidating the current understanding, established through partners' dialogue and stakeholders in early phases of consultation, of how the ISE project will meet its demanding objectives of contribute to a successful systemic innovation in European school education. It is introducing, on a more operational level, the foreseen inter-Work Package activities, centred on the role of the National Coordinators that are intended to guarantee coherence and to maximise project impact in the national education systems, well beyond the life-cycle of the project. It is further foreseen that an updated (revisited and where necessary revised) version of the validated Project Implementation Plan will be delivered by the end of this task (M24).

  • D3.4.2 Inspiring Science Education Demonstrators

    This deliverable provides information about progress in WP3. It focuses on the adaption of paper-and-pencil Demonstrators from the first project year to a digital learning environment and quality characteristics of the recently digital Demonstrators. Following these criteria Demonstrators are: clear (for teachers and students on what they have to do) and simple (to use, adopt, change, flexible), inspiring and motivating, relevant to students (real world problems) and teachers (syllabus connection), working (complete, all links and material available), Inquiry based, containing online tools and resources and follow at least one Big Idea of Science. In this deliverable it is explained how these characteristics can be implemented and verified. Furthermore, we give an overview over collected Demonstrators in the 2nd project year and show some example Demonstrators. In the annex you can find guidelines about designing new digital scenarios/Demonstrators and more detailed guidelines for review of Demonstrators for quality assurance.
  • D4.1 A Methodology for organising the eLearning tools and resources
