Description:
ODL-Open Discovery of STEM Laboratories is initiated to equip European school teachers with innovative approach – micro-MOOC, to deploy STEM laboratories and their application in the everyday teaching practices and, thus, strengthen the profile of the teaching professions. The project will foster partnerships between universities, research centers, training and professional associations, and school sector to modernize the school education by enhancing digital integration in learning and teaching processes with direct access to top-notch facilities of remote and virtual experiments. The program will be based on the requirements of STEM/ICT competence of school curricula in consortium countries and will employ the MOOC methodology, EU best practices in field, libraries of STEM laboratories, and OERs.
ODL aims to:
- Offer teachers collaboration in creating innovative STEM school curricula;
- Elaborate MOOC methodology and propose an implementation of it in secondary school sector;
- Merge remote and virtual STEM labs in day-to-day teaching practicing.
ODL will expand the methodology and resources for enhancing teacher proficiency and student competence required by modern society. The results will affect educational and economic transformation of partner countries, in particular, and of Europe, in general.
