University of South Bohemia (USB, Czech Republic) WP6 of the S-TEAM project
USB will produce a training module based on the science-centred competitions (The Biological Olympiad) WP6
to get a collection of useful tasks for science education on the basis of competition tasks to get data about students´ motivation towards science competitions (BiO) to produce training courses on the basis of above mentioned resources to disseminate the findings and the training package via summer school or via alternative projects The main objectives
(1) Pre-service teacher training seminar – duration of one semester –14 lessons integrated with: the teacher training for primary school (ISCED 2) teachers in biology the study programme Nature and Environmental Education. Three course levels
(2) In-service teacher training one day seminar for teachers with potential to disseminate the training package Three course levels
(3) national level summer school in September 2010 – for professors and lecturers from other universities Note: the training package on the level (2) will be realized in consequence of courses on the level (3). Three course levels
The competition tasks are developed by experts laboratory tasks are very useful. tasks are, in fact, tested or validated there is a methodical support it is possible to collect data about the students’ motivation to engage in science-centred competition (Biology Olympiad) and about development of their interest in science the data can be useful in teacher education. Why to use the science competition in IBSE?
There are two ways of acquiring the data students’ motivation and interest in science analysis of competition tasks and the possibility of their use in IBSTE What data will be collected?
screening step - interviewing students in their schools and asking them about their motives for prospective participation in the BiO - the interviews will be recorded and analyzed using a grounded theory paradigm second step- gaining in-depth information about the development of student motivation and interest Students‘ motivation
Content analysis Mistakes analysis Time analysis The analysis of the tasks
case study of selected theoretical or practical tasks theanalysis of teachers’ needs in implementation of science/biology competitions such as BiO in science education via IBST/E the study how science competitions improve student motivation in science. The final training package
