Welcome to the Inspiring Science Education Academy
2019
The aim of the
Inspiring Science Education International Summer Academy is to support the
modernisation of science education and training, including in curricula,
assessment of learning outcomes and the professional development of teachers
and trainers, as well as to the wide adoption of the recommendations of the
Rocard Report "A new Pedagogy for the Future of Europe" (Rocard et
al., 2007), that sets the basics for the introduction of the Inquiry Based
approach in the science curricula of the Member States.
The teachers
will not only be familiarized with a unique collection of open digital
educational resources, but they will also be trained to link them with
innovative pedagogical practices, such as using real world learning activities,
implementing resource based and project-based approaches, in order to design
educational scenarios by repurposing existing eLearning tools. The offered
resources and tools, although associated with a broad range of curriculum
areas, do not impose a fixed curriculum but support a model that can be
customized based on location and culture, as well as cross-disciplinary
situations, being thus ideal to be used in the European context for
differentiated instruction.
Teachers will
also be trained to appropriately select and exploit freely available existing
eLearning tools and resources in their educational scenarios that suit their
own needs in terms of planning, implementing and sharing pedagogical ideas,
managing their classroom and organizing the curriculum. This will further
empower them to create effective project scenarios to use in the classroom, as
well as in multiple environments such as face-to-face, online and other
technology mediated learning.
Such a
comprehensive open learning networks approach that allows teachers to access
their colleagues' course materials, share their own and collaborate is expected
to enable all stakeholders to examine their own practices in the light of the
best performing approaches. The Inspiring Science Education International
Summer Academy is part of the ongoing effort to establish a European Science
Education Academy which is supported by the European Physical Society (EPS).
