The aim of the project is to address the challenge of engagement in science as described in through an innovative approach to science teaching and learning and make learning science Fun and Relevant to students’ contexts. The project aims to increase pupils’ motivation and achievement in science and other subjects and to prepare European educators to better engage pupils in science education. The specific objectives are 1.To provide educators with analytical information regarding acclaimed international and European best practices in science teaching and learning, integrating informal and authentic learning, outdoor activities, and collaboration with scientists. 2.To support educators in utilizing social media, mobile devices, comics, digital storytelling, multimedia, and Web 2.0 technologies to engage students in science education. 3.To design sample cross-curricular teaching units enriched with digital tools, that may function as models for building new teaching units. 4To develop and disseminate the “Making Learning Science Fun” Toolkit and relevant resources to European educators. The above objectives will be served by the creation and implementation of Teacher Training Modules and the wide dissemination of the “Making Learning Science Fun” Toolkit in 5 countries and have a positive impact on education in Europe. For each country the following indicators will be achieved: - 50 teachers will be trained using the projects Toolkit (300 for the consortium) - 2 full cross curricular units will be developed as samples (10 units total) - 10 Schools will be reached (at least 60 total for the consortium) - 10 policy makers will be reached (at least 60 for the consortium) - 100 pupils (at least 500 for the consortium) More specifically the SciFun Consortium is comprised of the following 3 Universities, NGO, 2 education centers, SME that are oriented on education subjects and development of adults training material: 1. UPIT University is composed by experts and professionals, who were involved in more than 60 EU projects 2. GIE is a NGO that its mission is to contribute to EU integration process through educational activities, professional training and cultural activities 3. CARDET is an independent education research and teacher education that is mission is to inspire next generation education, and to promote research, innovation 4. UOP University’s prime mission is to research all the dimensions of the framework within which various educational processes are developed 5. INNOVADE is a SME with a team of professionals with several years of experience and deep expertise in e-learning development, project management and evaluation 6. ULO University through its International Educational Projects Office has participated in various European and International projects related on education and adults training 7. LMETB is a training authority highly committed to the provision of quality education programmes for over 10,000 students at second level as well as over 13,000 adult learner Partners will work in order to bring together information accumulated from diverse external sources through bibliographic research, input from other experts, analysis of existing case studies, discussions, etc. and design new material and resources. The methodology and project activities are: 1. State of the art research report on Science Education that will be developed through a research on science education o and a focus group in order to identify the specific needs of students and its educators and therefore to present recommendations that will be useful for subsequent project outputs and activities. 2. Report with collection of Best Practices for making learning science education and fun through a thoroughly review of past programms and research reports. 3. Guidelines and ideas for designing learning activities that will developed through a literature review and a focus group with stakeholders in order to assure that the educational content is relevant to the needs and settings of target group. 4. Recommendations for utilizing comics, mobile devices, digital storytelling, and social media that will be developed through a review of relevant projects. 5. Sample Cross-Curricular Units that will be developed through curriculum review in each country and design of units that can incorporate in the curriculum of country partners. 6. Making Learning Science Fun toolkit that will be developed based on the aforementioned activities. Toolkit will be Localization based on each partner countries needs and context. 7. Developed of Curricula and training material for Teachers Professional Development 8. E-services and e-learning platform will support the wide dissemination and project results exploitation. 9. Pilots and case studies will be conducted in each country partner. 10. National dissemination seminar and a European conference at the end of the project will support project dissemination and exploitation of its outputs and results.
