| CAT - The effective use of computer aided teaching and learning material in science teaching - a teacher training course with a European perspective | | Entwicklungsvorhaben - Fak. 3 - Physik |  | | Status: | abgeschlossen | | | Kurzinhalt: | A huge amount of excellent computer aided teaching and learning (CAT) material already exists in Europe, but there is far less experience (and also competence) at using these materials effectively within regular classroom activities and outside. This is especially true with respect to getting girls and boys interested to study science, and motivated to get acceptable learning results. Recent research results from science education show, that there are good chances for improving the classroom practice if the materials are appropriately used and adapted to the specific needs within the schools of the different countries (and offered with easy-to-follow teacher instructions). A transfer of those results into teaching practice within Europe will be organized by our project. Since teaching practice differs within the different European countries, it will be developed as a concept of culture oriented support activities. International scientists and teachers, experienced within this field, will worked together and adapted their nationally oriented ideas and research results to other needs. The intention of our project was to design and test modules for a teacher-training course, which enables teachers to judge the quality of computer aided learning environments in science teaching, to adapt best-practice examples of those environments to their own teaching, and to evaluate their own teaching afterwards. For this purpose, we used already existing environments of the different project-countries. The course itself is established as ICT-based content, and is published at the project homepage, within the Comenius/Grundtvig Database, as well as a handbook linked with "best-practice"- examples. Our project aimed at establishing a new and flexible teacher-training course that is useful in all participating but also in other countries. All materials are carried out in English and partly in all partner languages. The project shows that discussing and judging the quality of CAT for science teaching is an actual question in all European countries. The course with its modules can be booked via the project website and the Comenius/Grundtvig Database.
[kürzen] | | | Ergebnis: | The whole project is finished timely and got an excellent evaluation. On this basis, the course with it's 3 modules developed in the project, is offered by the University of Education Heidelberg through the Comenius/Grundtvig Teacher Training Database for 2011.
The survey data are published internationally, a study on the networking of teachers participating in the course has been started.
