One of the main challenges for the education systems in Europe is to increase the low level of basic skills achievement, including math and science. STEM education is often carried out in a schematic manner, regardless actual conditions, and is focused on preparation for external exams instead of real development of skills and interests. Technological development and dissemination of research results, which are obligatory in most projects co-financed with the public funds, contribute to increase the availability and open access to research results shared by leading research centers. This allows to increase the attractiveness of science education through the introduction of real scientific results into school practice and to familiarize students with scientific work through contacts with scientists. This requires diligent preparation of materials and equipping teachers in good quality, comprehensive teaching materials and educational resources, and showing the benefits of using inquiry-based learning methods and getting familiar with scientific methods of work. The aim of the project is to increase interest of students in junior high and high schools in mathematics and science, and in making a scientific career through the development, pilot implementation and dissemination of educational packages and methodological materials which allow the exploitation of research results in education systems in 3 European countries. The project will be dedicated to teachers of mathematics and science, and students from at least 30 schools: 5 junior high schools and 5 high schools in each partner country: Poland, Romania and France. ERIS project will be divided into 2 parts: testing phase and dissemination phase. In the testing phase teaching materials (10 packages) in national languages and in English to work with students in junior high and high schools will be prepared. Packages will be tested in chosen schools in each partner country. Packages will be adapted to the needs of end-users: teachers and students, according to the results of the evaluation studies. In the dissemination phase all interested schools in partner countries, as well as in whole Europe, will have the opportunity to take part in the project for free. They will use prepared packages during their lessons and take part in the webcasts of online lessons conducted by scientist in national languages and in English. Such virtual meetings with scientists will give a closer look at the specificity of scientific work, the measurements and research in the field of mathematics and science. That meetings can also be an inspiration for students and encourage them to continue an independent exploration of science. Moreover, a guide for teachers on the effective exploitation of research results in school practice with examples of good practice in this area. Project website and multimedia application containing teaching materials will be prepared. In addition, in the dissemination phase conferences for teachers are planned, which will increase the level of use of project‘s products among schools that have not participated in the testing phase. The success of these activities will be proved by the use of the product in at least 300 schools across Europe. Furthermore, the project will contribute to the growth of students' ability to search for reliable sources of knowledge, which is important in today's world overloaded with information. Usage of modern technologies and forms of communication (e.g. teleconferencing system that will allow students to participate in international broadcasts) will also positively affect the increase of interest in STEM. Participation in the project will allow schools to exchange experiences and establish Pan-European cooperation. Participation in online lessons and usage of educational resources in English will contribute to the increase of students’ language skills and expand specialized vocabulary in STEM. It may be very useful for future students of STEM studies, which are crucial for knowledge-based economy of Europe. In the long term, the project will also help to increase the understanding of the language of science and scientific messages.
