SySTEM 2020: Connecting Science Learning Outside The Classroom

Project description

Science education beyond the classroom

To transform science education and ensure that all young people have the opportunity to engage with science in a meaningful and inclusive manner, the EU-funded SySTEM 2020 project will unveil a comprehensive study. It will map the landscape across Europe, and evaluate diverse transdisciplinary programmes, creating a framework of best practices for educators in this field. Additionally, the project will delve into individual learning ecologies by piloting self-evaluation tools for learners, thereby effectively documenting their science education experiences outside the classroom. The study will conduct in-depth investigations in eight EU countries. It will cater to students from various backgrounds, including those from geographically remote areas, socio-economically disadvantaged communities, and minority and/or migrant groups.

Objective

SySTEM 2020 will focus on science learning outside the classroom, mapping the field across Europe, evaluating a number of transdisciplinary programmes to design best principles for educators in this field, and also examining individual learning ecologies by piloting self-evaluation tools for learners which will document science learning outside of the classroom. This study will map practices in 19 EU countries, including in-depth studies in 8 of these countries, covering learners between 9 - 20 years from various backgrounds including those from geographically remote, socio-economically disadvantaged, minority and/or migrant communities.
