Description of the educational product

The educational product is addressed to upper secondary school students between 16 and 17 years old.
The aim of an educational model is to illustrate a scientific concept through an image that has been chosen by a student.
In this specific model the scientific concept of esterification reaction is explained.
Once the model has been developed, the student presents it to the classmates asking for their opinion about the usability of the model itself. The discussion, moderated by the teacher, is a training moment and a good opportunity for him to explain the scientific concept and also evaluate the students’ interaction.

- Very nice idea and visualization of esterification.
- Descriptive visualization of chemical reactions - esterification. The connection with drawing, better said storytelling is motivating.
- Yes, interesting model. Nice and visual. I will try it with the pupils and we will try to find the similar ones.

I perfectly agree with you: motivation has a key role in student success and involving students in activities that are not perceived as boring lessons but more as a play or a relaxing activity (and drawing is indeed relaxing!), can be useful to achieve this goal.

If a student does not motivate himself to study there is no website or another tool to do so. I think students have to get interested in the topic to be motivated. I like the use of models. And I like this model. It explains in a very interesting way a boring and difficult topic.

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.
