Empowering Teachers for Science Learning Through Modelling-Based Approaches

Objectives: What do you want to achieve by implementing the project?
Teaching and learning in science can be promoted by supporting the development of teaching materials (units), learning objectives, and teacher training in Modelling-based Learning (MbL). We will work together with groups of teachers throughout Europe to identify their needs and develop teaching materials and training. By investing in capacity building of MbL on teachers’, teacher-training, curriculum and stakeholders’ level, we seek to support Science Education throughout Europe.
Implementation: What activities are you going to implement?
Activities will be: 1. Develop a conceptual framework of MbL in science; 2. Work with teachers in PLCs to develop learning units in MbL; 3. Develop a series of online self-run training modules for teachers. The outputs (in 4 languages) will consider diversity, and democratic and virtual practice; 4. Online webinars, hybrid national and international training events, transnational network, insights in European schools, increased self-confidence in informal virtual learning and communication.
Results: What project results and other outcomes do you expect your project to have?
Results will be: 1. Theory-/need-based conceptual framework of MbL in science; 2. Learning units in MbL; 3. Modular online trainings; 4. Encouragement for MbL practice in European schools, thus strengthening Science Education in Europe; 5. Dissemination into practical and scientific discourses; 6. Get diverse players in (inter)national school fields and institutions connected; 7. Contribution to school development and successful student learning.
