Context
European educational systems are facing two common challenges:
  • the lack of motivation of secondary and vocational education students in studying scientific related topics
  • the difficulties for school teachers in updating their teaching methods in order to promote the interest of their students toward scientific issues
In this context the European Commission has financed the “Goerudio” project in the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme (KA4 Dissemination and Exploitation of Results, and Exchange of Good Practice).
Objectives
The aim of the project is to create a learning community of European science teachers and students willing to identify:
  • Solutions to overcome the main obstacles when studying scientific subjects
  • Innovative teaching methods for science
Target Groups
The project is addressed to:
  • Schools
  • Teachers
  • Students
  • Policy makers in the educational sector
Activities
The project main activities are:

Collection of Teaching and Learning Experiences
The aim of this activity is to involve science teachers and students in the sharing of their teaching and learning experiences.

Results
  • Creation of a network of science teachers and students in the 7 project countries
  • Collection of teachers’ experiences
  • Collection of students’ experiences

Assessment of Projects and Initiatives in the field of science education
Objectives
The aim of this activity is to create, in cooperation with students and teachers, a database of reviews of existing projects and initiatives in the field of science teaching and learning.

Results
  • Database of reviews of existing initiatives in the field of science teaching and learning

Learning Community
The aim of this activity is to promote the creation of a learning community for science teachers and students in order to discuss and share knowledge and experiences on the theme of how to make scientific education more involving. Teachers and students will also be involved in the development of teaching resources for scientific subjects.

Results

Dissemination Seminar in Florence

31 October 2015 The seminar has been held in ITIS “A. Meucci” one of the schools involved within Goerudio project activities. Its main aim was to promote the results of the project toward a broad sample of stakeholders even overcrossing the number of people directly involved in the production of project outcomes. This purpose has been totally achieved especially thanks to the participation of students and teachers coming from different schools or from other classes instead of those ones directly involved within the project activities.
