Project’s Objectives
– connection between everyday life and science lessons using new educational tools and learning environments
– development of a pedagogical framework that will allow successful application of the emerging technology in everyday learning
– enhancement of a constructionist approach in science teaching – equal and parallel development of pedagogical and
technological innovations– development of a concrete evaluation scheme of educational
and technological aspects

Project’s description
• Wearable computers and intelligent sensors will be used to guide students through the learning process in science.
• Fundamental physical laws in engineering and physics can be addressed through everyday-life activities and the analysis of the data that will be collected by some intelligent artifacts.
• Students will be able to graphically view all physical quantities under study using a Software Interface.
“Lab of tomorrow” project proposes the introduction of an innovation into everyday teaching:

in each of these cycles of the school-centred work
less and less guidance is needed
![Page 11: LAB OF TOMORROW project: A constructionist approach in science teaching through emerging technologies IST-2000-25076 M. Apostolakis, Ellinogermaniki Agogi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e675503460f94b62072/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Final Run (Phase A)
• During this phase students and teachers will follow the constructed lesson plans, by using the already developed tools. The main purpose of this phase is to get both students and teachers familiarized with the new approach and the new tools and prepared them for the final and most important cycle of the school-centred work
• Feedback - Improvements to the tools
![Page 12: LAB OF TOMORROW project: A constructionist approach in science teaching through emerging technologies IST-2000-25076 M. Apostolakis, Ellinogermaniki Agogi.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e675503460f94b62072/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Final Run (Phase B)
• During the last phase students and teachers will be able to study any aspect they consider important by using the tools and the Axions. Additionally, at this stage students will have the opportunity to propose new wearable sensors and ergonomic solutions, providing thus their input in the co-design of the toys and wearables.

Evaluation of the didactic approach
The evaluation of the proposed didactic approach
will be performed on three aspects:
• evaluation of student’s learning,
• evaluation of the underlying pedagogical
framework and
• ethnographic evaluation.

Conclusions
The presented pedagogical concepts govern the scientific research in the fields of Pedagogy and
Educational Technology. This research is in principle necessary to be performed in a large
multinational community for science advance and broad benefits. The developed tools are results of collaboration of complementary expertise in the
fields of technology, communications, basic research, educational software development, education, science teaching and pedagogical
psychology.
