Objectives • To collect, analyze, validate and disseminate innovative pedagogical practice, in Maths, Science and Technology, labelled as Good Practices (GP) • Especially those GPbased on inquiry-based learning • Mostly ICT-based GP • enhancing pupil motivation for science studies (at primary/secondary level) • The good practice criteria will allow new initiatives to have guidelines to ensure their innovation and quality.
The big picture • A teacher panel, along with a science expert panel, from 16 European countries, will help the SPICE partners in defining good practice projects that will then be tested in schools in countries different to the one where the projects come from. • Results of those trials will be shared on the occasion of a Summer school organized by DZS in the Czech Republic (26-29 August 2011).
Expected outcomes and results • The dissemination of innovative pedagogical practice in MST subjects. • The good practice criteria will allow new initiatives to have guidelines to ensure their innovation and quality. • SPICE teachers will actively contribute to the Communities of Practice (CoPs) beyond their launch, which will take place during the Summer school.
