New technologies for education
and the control of the quality of
European water
I. Presentation of the project
II. Strategies for Evaluation
Programme Socrates Minerva N° 71157 – CP – 3 – 2001 – 1 – BE – MINERVA - M
I. Presentation of the project
This is the third year of this Socrates Minerva project.
The main objective of eurEAU@ctions is to introduce
innovating ODL tools into the secondary schools and to
develop a co-operative project with teachers and students
from 16 to 18 years old dealing with water management.
You can watch a “guided tour” through the website on
which the project informations are provided in 5
different languages : English, German, Greek, French
and Italian.
First STAGE
The
Project aims to promote exchanges
and European cooperation between
secondary schools by ODL (Open
and distance learning) through a
common project focusing water
management.
THE OBJECTIVE
Second STAGE
Distance learning currently favours the use of New
Information and Communication Technologies (NICT).
This is the reason why the
Project provides teachers and students with the opportunity to
become knowledgeable about the technical and scientific
aspects of ODL.
THE OBJECTIVE
Third STAGE
As the project advances, teachers
also participate in the development,
experimentation and assessment of
tools and innovative
methodologies.
They join their students in actionresearch, from the taking of
samples in the field to laboratory
analysis and processing of results.
THE OBJECTIVE
Fourth STAGE
The
Project also aims to promote
virtual mobility of teachers and students, providing them with a
specific project-based Web site run interactively.
http://www.ulg.ac.be/cifen/inforef/expeda/eureau
This communication and distance
learning platform allows for true
international cooperation and
increases awareness of European
identity
THE OBJECTIVE
Fifth STAGE
At the end of the project research
results as well as effective tools and
teaching practices will be gathered
on a CD-ROM which will enable
the project to expand into the
different European countries.
This CD-ROM could serve as a
basis for the adoption of a common
education curricilum throughout
European countries.
THE OBJECTIVE
First STAGE
Training for teachers and students
Technical skills
Developing teacher’s and students' skills in
using new technologies in order to enhance
teaching at a distance.
Scientific proficiencies
Learning to carry out an analysis in a
locality with students based on software for
handling results: Aquakit.
THE METHOD
Second STAGE
The choice of an environment
in light of a interdisciplinar
approach
The scientific appraisal of a locality
will be carried out, depending on the
case at hand, either by geographical,
historical, literary, cultural or socialeconomic approaches, etc.
THE METHOD
Third STAGE
Research in the locality, the
collection of DATA
Collecting samples and analysis of the
locality will be done using a unique
handling case: matter selected by
partners involved in the project.
THE METHOD
Fourth STAGE
The analysis and treatment of data
The teachers are to adopt a mutual
experimental procedure for treating samples
in the laboratory.
The treatment of data by data processing
facilitates the interpretation of scientific
results and permits the synthesis and the
communication of all multidisciplinary or
interdisciplinary findings.
THE METHOD
Fifth STAGE
Sharing and dissemination
of findings
The participants in the project have
at their disposal for the publishing,
and dissemination of the results
and conclusions of their research
tools such as:
 the Web site,
 a discussion forum,
 the working up of a CD -ROM.
THE METHOD
II. Strategies for evaluation
1. Follow-up of the project
 At the Steering Committees :
– International partners’ meetings
– National meetings of teachers
 Communication and exchanges using the new technologies
through the forum, visio-conferences, electronic mails and
online discussions
 Transparency on the website : who spread continously
the informations and the outcomes of the project
2. Production and exploitation of evaluation tools
 Creation of an online-evaluation-questionnaire in order to
assess the CD-Rom as well as the Steering Committees
Elaboration of a dissemination questionnaire
 Management of the questionnaire’s answers thanks to the creation
of a sample file in order to collect and to analyze these answers.
3. Evaluation of the project by external experts
 At different levels : pedagogical, scientific, new technologies
and project management
 By different institutions
