La struttura del consorzio

•In Italy, Estonia, Turkey:– One Higher Education Institution (HEI) in each country active in Robotics

Education and Research– Some schools nearby the HEI:

• Some schools already active somehow in Robotics• Some “absolute beginner” schools

•In Austria and Portugal:– Higher Education Institutions with strong background in Robotics for

Education and Education for Robotics

•Personnel involved:– roboticists and researchers from other fields of STEM are involved in the

project

Le finalità e gli obiettivi

Main goals of ROSE

•To enhance the attractiveness of STEM disciplines, in particular among female pupils•To promote a balanced representation of the society among students choosing a technology/science-oriented HE•In the long term: to ensure the labour market with a more adequate number of scientists, engineers and technologists, in particular female ones

Most relevant priorities of ROSE

•Developing partnerships between education and employment•Promoting the take-up of practical entrepreneurial experiences in education, training and youth work

Most relevant topics

•Gender equality/equal opportunities•Key Competences (incl. mathematics and literacy) - basic skills•Labour market issues incl. career guidance/youth unemployment


6

Gli obiettivi a breve termine

Short term goals

•Ex ante surveys (in the partner schools and other schools) to “measure” the attractiveness of STEM disciplines BEFORE “Robotics Contamination”•Contamination by means of robotics-based activities aimed at promoting STEM disciplines among young pupils, in particular female pupils

– Open days, technical visits to HEIs– Festivals and Competitions– Short term international student mobility to expose the students to a different

learning environment– Multiplier events, involving pupils and teachers of non-partner organizations

•Ex post surveys to measure a possible change in the level of attractiveness of STEM disciplines AFTER “Robotics Contamination”


7

Gli obiettivi di lungo periodo

Long term goals

•To increase the attractiveness of STEM disciplines•To enlarge the number of students (in particular female ones) choosing a science/technology oriented career/educational path•To reduce the school drop-out rates by promoting motivation;•To promote a gender balanced representation of the society among students that decide to chose a science/technology oriented career•To supply to the European labour market a more adequate number of scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians•To contribute to the competitiveness of the European Union’s economy


8

Gli strumenti

Main tools

•The appeal of Robotics and Robotics-related competitions will be the main tools used to increase the attractiveness of STEM disciplines

•The Questionnaire is available in its final form since February 2015

•An online version is also available to help partner schools in recording the students questionnaires in a database for subsequent analyses

•Status of questionnaire submission (due date was 31.03.15)– ITT FF – 21.02.2015 with 4 classes (3rd and 4th year)– LS NC – 12.02.2015 with 2 classes (3rd year)– IC DM – 29.04.2015 with 4 classes (1st year)


9

I primi risultati

• Around 180 questionnaires recorded so far


10

• The project website is online and frequently updated: http://www.roseproject.eu

• Several local meetings have been organized to plan and execute local activities(December 2014 - Autumn 2015)

• Remote meetings have been held to coordinate actions in the five partner countries (December 2014 - January 2015)

• A graphical contest has been agreed among the partners in order to choose a ROSE project logo among student proposals– Contest deadline was October 30, 2015– A committee coordinated by the Liceo Scientifico

Niccolò Copernico evaluated several Logo designs, choosing the one on the right

Le collaborazioni

• A partnership with Terza Cultura (http://www.terzacultura.it/), a no-profit official spin-off company of the University of Florence, has been formalized, with the purpose of using their educational robotics facilities, equipment, and personnel in the “robotics alphabetization” of schools and teachers with no robotics background

• “Il Laboratorio” of Terza Cultura: http://il-laboratorio.academy/

Un importante evento moltiplicatore

• Pupils of several (partner and non-partner) schools attended an important FIRST® LEGO® League competition organized by the ROSE partner school ITT Fedi-Fermi in Pistoia, Italy, on February 21, 2015, either as participants or as supporters


14

Gli altri eventi moltiplicatori

• Organization of a ROSE multiplier event in the framework of the Open Day of the School of Engineering of the University of Florence in December 2014

• Organization of a ROSE multiplier event within the World Engineering Education Forum 2015 (WEEF 2015), held in Florence in September 2015: http://www.weef2015.eu

L’opera di ingegno (I)

Why a curriculum?

• The school curriculum is the expression of the freedom of teaching and of the school authonomy and, at the same time, it represents the choices of the entire school community and the identity of the school itself. Building a curriculum is a process through which research is developed and innovation is introduced

L’opera di ingegno (IV)

Methodological model for curriculum building


A common framework

"Knowledge” means the outcome of the assimilation of information through learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices related to a field of work or study.Knowledge is described as theoretical and/or factual.

"Skills” means the ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems. Skills are described as cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive and creative thinking) and practical (involving manual dexterity and the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments).

“Competence” means the proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and methodological abilities in work or study situations and in professional and/or personal development.Competence is described in terms of responsibility and autonomy.

L’opera di ingegno (V)

Key competences

Key competences of citizenship(DM 139/2007, all. B)

• Learning to learn• Planning and managing projects• Communicating• Collaborating and participating• Acting autonomously and

responsibly• Problem solving• Identifying links and relations• Acquiring and interpreting

information

European Recommendation 18-12-2006•Key competences for lifelong learning communication in the mother tongue•Communication in foreign languages•Mathematical competences and basic competences in science and technology•Digital competences•Learning to learn•Social and civic competences•Sense of initiative and entrepreneurship•Cultural awareness and expression

Le attività future del “Copernico”

• During Autumn 2015 a new 3th class has been introduced in the project

• 4 teachers are now involved in planning a new type of vertical curriculum based on the development of robotic competences

• We are going to buy 25 Arduino BYOR didactic kits (1 Arduino every 2 students)

• We are organizing an exchange of experiences with more expert partners (IIS “Ferraris-Brunelleschi”), who will come to our school for a number of lessons

• In partnerships with other schools we are going to design a curriculum about educational robotics teaching for secondary 1st and 2nd degree schools

Planned Arduino related activities

• Basic lessons in the morning during school time

• Homework to perform assigned tasks

• Afternoon meeting to check results, difficulties and debugging
