How do you tackle science and engineering education at your school?

In Brief

Now that Science & Technology education has become a regular part of the curriculum, it is extra important that as a teacher you have a solid basic knowledge of S&T education and the didactics involved.

In this training you will have the opportunity to expand that knowledge. In the first meeting, we talk with teachers about the core of science and technology education and provide inspiring examples of lessons, methods, activities, themes and technologies that are used in other schools and can be an integral part of the curriculum. An important part of science and technology education is the didactics of inquiry-based and design-based learning (OOL). We offer teachers theoretical depth and practical tools for going through the different steps of an inquiry or design cycle.

To let teachers experience how they can put science and technology into practice, we work on a specific case in the second part. In our approach, it is possible to work with different case studies. Examples of case topics include programming with robots, 3D printing and virtual reality.

Target

Education professionals within the PO who want to embed S&T education in their teaching.

Duration

In 2 half-days you will get useful tips and tricks to properly implement S&T in your education.
