18. Phase 1 – Piloting Adoption: students-scientists
Brazil Greece
Introduce real world problems
that students CARE
Appreciate students’ science-
actions (DO) in fairs/exhibitions
Provide information, questions/responses
for students to KNOW in the school
Romania
140 students – 4 teachers 3 professionals 55 students – 2 teachers 1 professionals
What was the role of scientists in phase 1?
27. Phase 1 – Piloting Adoption: geographical diferences
Brazilian, Spanish, and Greek students are
willing to use science, it is fun, but they
lack confidence.
Half of Romanian students consider science
relevant; it is fun and some of them are
confident.
UK students are confident, but it is not fun,
they are not interested in science
28. Phase 1 – Piloting Adoption: Teachers
practices
Many teachers felt confident with pedagogical practices relevant for implementing open schooling.
90% of teachers felt confident with arousing students’ curiosity to undertake problem solving,
87% in guiding them to select reliable sources of information,
89% in helping them to air their views and 88% in listening carefully to others in group discussions.
29. Phase 1 – Piloting Adoption: Teachers
practices
strategies
Most teachers focus on traditional teaching methods: explaining ideas using textbooks and worksheets whilst students take notes(>90%).
Rarely use : 1 collaborative games and role play (53%), 2.students raising issues for discussion (39%),
3. students create their own collaborative inquiry projects (36&) 4.neither talking about topical scientific issues (35%).
This brief presentation summarises the findings of phase 1 that are relevant for phase 2
This brief presentation summarises the findings of phase 1 that are relevant for phase 2
7 organisations were very effective to overcome challenges to help endusers complete evaluation.
In Phase 1, CONNECT produced 16 sets of resources using CARE-KNOW-DO Framework led by WP4
Partnerships systems were established led by WP2 engagement and WP5 coaching
Platform was launched by WP3
Evaluation was completed led by WP2, policy recommendations now te be discussed and the communicated led by WP1
Our numbers are above expected targets for phase 1
To illustrate our achievement – this table which presented numbers for implementation (not evaluation numbers which are smaller)
Indicated that we went beyond
The key stakeholder for EC in open schooling - is Youth – we got data from 1359
Of course that to see impact on students – we need to impact on teachers in parallel.
Our goal was coaching 40 teachers but we probably supported 5 times more to get 91 completing the evaluation for teachers and bringing students to completed it twice.
Our students survey is a novel combination of three componentes SCIENCE CAPITAL, BELIEFS, IDENTITY
Novelty is the self-reflective questionnaire in 5 languages integrated with consent, feedback, suggestions and badge
For students and teachers
Our teachers survey is a novel combination of two componentes practices and strategies
Also in Quatrics for all partners in Phase 2
This brief presentation summarises the findings of phase 1 that are relevant for phase 2
Looking at percentages – at Project level: 75% of CONNECT students have positive thoughts and 84% find learning science enjoyable and fun
However Half of them lack support from families and professionals model
More than half do not hav eopportunities do engage with science outside school
Many are unconfident with their knowledge and skills in science and maths to slve science
In addtion more than half perceive science as memorisation
They do not want to be seen as expert in science nor have job that uses science
Findings in numbers .... Because we collect more than necessary in terms of implementation and evaluation
We can see in the graph that in numbers we exceed the expectations for all categories in phase 1 (do, talk, know and for-me)
Welldone!
The problem is phase 2 when hundreds must be transformed into thousands
Are we prepared for that?
I need to cal your attention that apart going up we need to go back and think about people left behind
Because in blue are the ones who in CONNECT agreed... And in green are the numbers who disagreed... We will be thinking in going up muts we need to examine our influence on the ones left behind and put them in front of our concerns They matters for us.
No only the unconfident ones but as I told before we need to influence the ones who are uncertain
This phase 2 – breaking down – together United ... It will achieve ... 5 countries and per country ... It means...
We need to rethink about our resources, strategies and people involved in teh Project to support large numbers
We manage to build a network of 40 schools providing data
I wish to cal them our research schools becaus ewe can use data as diagnostic and with our policy at Project level influence large numbers
Only with significant research data we will beable to develop policy at regional and national level
Special attention to our participants – we manage to get very reprensentative dataset at Project level = > with disadvantaged student that now have more access to tech
Special attention for teh EU is gender this is visible ( small perccentages but in number are significant)
Boys are more confidente with their knowlede than girls
