Descrizione del progetto
Dare senso all’istruzione scientifica
La creazione di esperienze significative di istruzione scientifica va oltre le mura della classe e della scuola. Il progetto COSMOS, finanziato dall’UE, creerà nuovi partenariati in ambito comunitario in grado di favorire l’istruzione scientifica per tutti i cittadini. L’obiettivo è stimolare una modalità «esterna» di coinvolgimento tra scuole e comunità. In particolare, il progetto sosterrà la creazione di Comunità di pratica composte da formatori, imprese, famiglie e altre parti coinvolte di tipo informale e non ufficiale. Inoltre, COSMOS introdurrà in ambito scolastico nuove strutture organizzative, o rafforzerà quelle esistenti, garantendo il coinvolgimento di tutti gli attori della società e stimolando l’interesse degli studenti nella scienza e per una carriera scientifica. Il lavoro del progetto si svolgerà a stretto contatto con i docenti di scienza, fornendo opportunità di sviluppo professionale e rafforzamento delle capacità.
Obiettivo
COSMOS (Creating Organisational Structures for Meaningful science education through Open Schooling for all) uses socio-scientific inquiry-based learning (SSIBL) as a pedagogical means for opening up schools to their communities through a transformation process, aiming to create new partnerships within communities that can foster science education for all citizens, irrespective of gender, ethnicity or cultural background. To transform and open schools from an 'inwards' to an 'outwards' mode of engagement in, with and for their communities, our open schooling approach is unique in combining key pivotal elements of innovative constructivist pedagogy, teacher education, and transforming school organisational culture.
We will (a) establish Core ORganisational structures for Promoting Open Schooling (CORPOS) in primary and secondary schools to facilitate community engagement. CORPOS will (b) support the creation of Communities of Practice (CoP), which include non-formal and informal education providers, enterprises, families, other stakeholders. The CoP will engage in SSIBL focusing on relevant socio-scientific issues, ensure engagement of all societal actors, and create significant life experiences, enhancing students' interest in science and science careers. We will (c) ensure the viability and sustainability of open schools by working closely with science teachers, stakeholders and school leadership, offering teacher professional development, supporting networking and collaboration and capacity building.
The COSMOS consortium (12 partners, 7 countries) provides transdisciplinary cooperation and expertise in non-formal and formal science education, science teacher education, educational organisation and leadership, and strong societal links within communities, all of which warrant the successful implementation of COSMOS. The resulting tools, policy briefs and roadmaps will be used by schools across Europe further impacting communities through science education.
