Participants:
Website: platon-project.eu
Description:
PLATON-Promoting innovative Learning Approaches for the Teaching Of Natural sciences aims to address the lack of relevance between what is taught in school and everyday life, by motivating teachers to update their teaching practices and bring inspiration into their science classroom, increase students’ interest in science and focus on developing students’ basic skills in math and science as well as 21st century key skills, like critical and creative thinking.
The PLATON project approaches science learning not as a decontextualized activities focused on the memorization of factual knowledge organized in a linear progression but as an approach that allows the generation of knowledge through a creative, constructive process that builds upon students’ prior understanding and evolves beyond what is explicitly taught. To this end, PLATON will build a methodology that combines the Inquiry Based Science Teaching Approach with the ‘Big Ideas of Science’ scheme for introducing interdisciplinary learning. This combination can produce a powerful blended approach that can enable teachers to build bridges between the science classroom and the world around us, rethink the way they perceive the science curriculum and take advantage of opportunities to introduce hands-on and minds-on activities for their students.

Website: www2.isep.ipp.pt/visir/
Description:
“Educational Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and Practice following an Enquiry-based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by Visir+” project targets the broad area of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and, within it, the subject of circuit theory and practice. It aims to define, develop and evaluate a set of educational modules comprising hands-on, virtual, and remote experiments, the later supported by a remote lab named Virtual Instruments Systems In Reality (VISIR). The nature of each experiment (hands-on, virtual, real-remote) has an impact on the students’ perception of circuits’ behaviour, being therefore mandatory to understand how these different learning objects can be arranged together in order to scaffold their understanding and increase their laboratory-based skills. This is the concern of the underpinning teaching and learning methodology, favouring in particular the students’ autonomy for discovering how circuits work, through an enquiry-based approach.
There has been an increased interest in science and engineering education due to: (1) the shortage of professionals required in scientific and technical areas; (2) the considerable low ratio of students opting for science- and engineering-related degrees, when entering higher education; and (3) the number of dropouts exhibited in the initial years of undergraduate studies. All stakeholders have devoted a great deal of attention and concern to this problem, considering the high number of reports published about and initiatives taken in recent years. In sum, the solutions have been dealing with: raising the society awareness for such a problem (1); increasing the interest for STEM among youngsters (1 and 2); and, promoting new teaching and learning methodologies, especially student-centred ones involving the use of ICT-tools, for coping with a new generation of digital natives (3).
VISIR+ brings together the power of the best remote lab for experiments with electrical and electronics circuits and the long history of collaboration among the consortium partners from Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Portugal Spain, and Sweden

Website: makeworld.eu
Description:
This project has been funded by the European Comission with an Erasmus Plus grant, within the KA2-Strategic Partnership-School Education program. Lead by DeustoTech Learning-University of Deusto, the project aims at developing a powerful and high-quality set of resources and tools to develop and assess STEM and ICT competencies, as well as a dashboard to monitor student’s progress and behavior. Students, through their teacher, are final users of the open educational resources and platform. They will have a flexible, attractive and innovative educational tool to develop STEM and Computational competencies. Students will have resources ready to be used and learn with them, but the platform enables them to modify, even to create from scratch characters, worlds and stories. They can be authors of open educational resources, encouraging an active participation in their learning and promoting their creativity. Students, with available learning resources, will become protagonists of their learning, and will manage the resources at their disposal.

El proyecto AUTOGAME tiene como objetivo desarrollar un juego serio (serious game) para el diagnóstico y localización de averías en esquemas eléctricos, y se enmarca en el el área de la electricidad en automoción. Está dirigido a la Formación Profesional, pero es tan flexible que puede adaptarse a otros ámbitos educativos.
Hemos conseguido el editor para facilitarnos la vida a los profes de automoción que no sabemos programar. Con este editor podremos añadir actividades (circuitos con averías) a nuestro juego.Podremos compartir cientos de actividades en nuestra comunidad para enriquecer el juego.Puede ser usado también por profesores de otras especialidades para editar todo tipo de circuitos eléctricos. El juego está concebido como un material complementario a la formación presencial, en el que alumnos deben identificar averías en esquemas eléctricos, y la causa que ha producido dicha avería, el componente que ha fallado. Se presentan esquemas eléctricos al alumno y debe identificar una única avería en cada circuito, tras lo cual se pasa a la siguiente actividad.
Este es un proyecto Open Software. Vamos a crear una comunidad donde compartir todas las actividades que diseñemos los profesores para este juego

Participants:
Website: misstohit.deusto.es
Description:
The main goal of MissToHit:From Misconceptions To Learning Insights Through Inquiry With Playful Physical Objects project is to create a learning community where formal and informal learning initiatives can share STEM-related learning activities based on physical objects in an Inquiry-based learning (IBL) methodology.
The main target groups of the project’s activities and results are Educators and Learners, in formal (schools) and informal (e.g. science museum) learning scenarios. Within the MISStoHIT community, learners and educators can adopt several roles: a) consumers of previously created learning resources; b) producers of new learning materials (remixing models, experiments, guides, etc.); or c) providers of learning insights: misconceptions, experiments’ ideas, hints, or new approaches. Scientists and other stakeholders (industry, public bodies, etc.) are also invited to contribute to the creation of learning materials that match everyday practice in museums and classrooms.
The project will carry out preliminary studies to define and establish the fundamentals of the project, e.g. STEM and ICT curriculum, gender, legal and ethical issues will be analyzed. The new pedagogical methodology approach designed by educators will be the base to design and develop e-learning tools and resources, and an on-line collaborative platform where students and teachers will be able to learn, teach and co-create content for STEM courses.
