SCIENCEDUC / POLLEN |
2004 - 2009 | From 2004 to 2009, two European projects had been coordonated by La main à la pâte (SciencEduc and Pollen). The main aim of those projects was to promote the dissemination of methods and good practices for science teaching as a result of the creation of a European network and to support directly the educational practices of the teachers. Those projects have developed along several main lines: teachers training, evaluation, the dissemination of good practices ( that meant that the programme could be extended to new schools), collaborative projects between classes via the internet, a federation of numerous European countries involved in educational and science teaching. SciencEduc and Pollen received financial support from the General Delegation for Research of the European Commission (6th framework programme for research devlopment - section Science and Society). |
