consists of 9 partners that come from 7 European countries:
the UK, Greece, Germany, Serbia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Portugal.
Key objectives are:
To improve perception of Science in secondary schools
To increase numbers of young people who choose a career in Science
To help young people to actively contribute to the learning process
To increase skills in teachers for engaging creatively with their students and for delivering innovative methodologies
Make science Real in sCHools (MARCH) network
Its objectives were to review the current state of Science Education across Europe and to map the state-of-the-art of students' and teachers' perceptions of science teaching.
The work was led by Forum Democrit , Bulgaria
The scoping analysis was based on
desk research on existing policies, practices and methodologies
online surveys among teachers and students from the 7 participating countries
in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders
15 May – 30 October 2014
The State of the Art in Science Education: Results of MARCH Empirical Study
Science education is still much more theoretically-based than focused on hands-on practices.Even in leading countries, the respective policies have not provided the expected results.
Students’ participation
in experiments
Students learn only facts without getting
functional knowledge, that it would help them to
solve practical real-life problems
Students: not enough laboratory equipment - differences
3/4 students think ICTs infrastructure is enough – no differences
The web – absolute resource for studentsA particular attention is required in training students how to recognise accurate science information
Students recognize the importance of Science for their academic and professional future
Why STEM?
Recognizing the technological
breakthroughs due to the rise of Science & its tremendous social and economic impact
