Description:
ICT combined with Inquiry-Based Science Learning (IBSL), an education technique that always begins with questions and problems, will challenge students in discovering answers themselves. Through this innovative teaching method, students can focus on learning ICT by doing, with the teacher guiding the way, and plain lectures no longer driving concept mastery.
The Teaching ICT with Inquiry (TIWI) project will help upper primary and secondary educators to:
- Gain new skills and be in a position to teach coding efficiently to their students
- Become comfortable in using the inquiry based approach in their teaching and see its direct connection to the coding logic
- Provide them and their students with self-assessment instruments that will allow them to take control of their personal development and their students’ further learning
The main goal of this project is to provide teachers with tools and skills in order to enable them, with the help of inquiry-based approach to teach coding – the digital language spoken by ICT tools. The main target group includes in-service upper primary (9-11 y.o. students) and secondary (12-19 y.o. students) school teachers coming from 20+ countries in Europe. We will also give various possibilities to future teachers (pre-service training) to participate in this project by taking an online course, use educational material produced within the proposed project, and participate in European-wide competition.
