Programme Socrates Minerva N° 71157 – CP – 3 – 2001 – 1 – BE – MINERVA - M

This is the third year of this Socrates Minerva project.

The main objective of eurEAU@ctions is to introduce innovating ODL tools into the secondary schools and to develop a co-operative project with teachers and students from 16 to 18 years old dealing with water management. You can watch a “guided tour” through the website on which the project informations are provided in 5 different languages : English, German, Greek, French and Italian.

I. Presentation of the project

The

Project aims to promote exchanges and European cooperation between secondary schools by ODL (Open and distance learning) through a common project focusing water management.

First STAGE

THE OBJECTIVE

Distance learning currently favours the use of New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT).

This is the reason why the

Project provides teachers and students with the opportunity to become knowledgeable about the technical and scientific aspects of ODL.

Second STAGE

THE OBJECTIVE

As the project advances, teachers also participate in the development, experimentation and assessment of tools and innovative methodologies.

They join their students in action-research, from the taking of samples in the field to laboratory analysis and processing of results.

Third STAGE

THE OBJECTIVE

The Project also aims to promote virtual mobility of teachers and students, providing them with a specific project-based Web site run interactively.

Fourth STAGE

This communication and distance learning platform allows for true international cooperation and increases awareness of European identity

THE OBJECTIVE

At the end of the project research results as well as effective tools and teaching practices will be gathered on a CD-ROM which will enable the project to expand into the different European countries.

This CD-ROM could serve as a basis for the adoption of a common education curricilum throughout European countries.

Fifth STAGE

THE OBJECTIVE

Training for teachers and students

Technical skills Developing teacher’s and students' skills in using new technologies in order to enhance teaching at a distance.

Scientific proficiencies Learning to carry out an analysis in a locality with students based on software for handling results: Aquakit.

First STAGE

THE METHOD

The choice of an environment in light of a interdisciplinar approach

The scientific appraisal of a locality will be carried out, depending on the case at hand, either by geographical, historical, literary, cultural or social-economic approaches, etc.

Second STAGE

THE METHOD

Research in the locality, the collection of DATA

Collecting samples and analysis of the locality will be done using a unique handling case: matter selected by partners involved in the project.

Third STAGE

THE METHOD

Fourth STAGE

The analysis and treatment of data

The teachers are to adopt a mutual experimental procedure for treating samples in the laboratory.

The treatment of data by data processing facilitates the interpretation of scientific results and permits the synthesis and the communication of all multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary findings.

THE METHOD

Fifth STAGE

Sharing and dissemination of findings

The participants in the project have at their disposal for the publishing, and dissemination of the results and conclusions of their research tools such as:

the Web site,

a discussion forum,

the working up of a CD -ROM.

THE METHOD

II. Strategies for evaluation1. Follow-up of the project

At the Steering Committees :

– International partners’ meetings

– National meetings of teachers

Communication and exchanges using the new technologies through the forum, visio-conferences, electronic mails and online discussions

Transparency on the website : who spread continously the informations and the outcomes of the project

By different institutions

University

ISSep : Institut Scientifique de Service public

Organisations involved in environment protection

2. Production and exploitation of evaluation tools

Management of the questionnaire’s answers thanks to the creation of a sample file in order to collect and to analyze these answers.

3. Evaluation of the project by external experts

Creation of an online-evaluation-questionnaire in order to assess the CD-Rom as well as the Steering Committees

Elaboration of a dissemination questionnaire

At different levels : pedagogical, scientific, new technologies and project management
