Message: The site is easily found very attractive material for children but not particularly significant with regard to innovation in science teaching, but exploring it carefully, and read through the various file pdf present, it is aware of the possibility for schools to join projects already processed (valid from a scientific standpoint, and obviously planned by experts) that follow the experimental method, (require observing, recording, analysis of results, formulation of hypotheses) that are offered to schools by requiring the sharing of results and research findings through publication of the same site. It could be reassuring for teachers, who are for the first time to tackle the problem of innovation in the science teaching, and motivating for students to share their experience with many schools in the country and for the publication of the performance of projects and results in the network and the necessary use of ICT for reporting on the bill itself.
I think that students can be involved both in the means of implementation research (follow a rigorous experimental method properly collecting the data and considering the necessary variables) for both modes of participation in the same (use of ICT, networking among schools) and for the sharing of results and conclusions (which has the advantage of having a lot of data refer to different situations and to be guided by experts and in the implementation of the project is in the elaboration of the conclusions).
Surely the sharing of such projects can improve the understanding of the experimental method, but there aren’t indications of improvement in learning of the times.
I do not think it has to offer this resource can be considered innovative in terms of research in chemistry education, but that would be considered innovative mode of presentation and involvement of the projects available in the resource.
National Reports on successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry The national reports on chemistry successful experiences to promote lifelong learning for chemistry are now available on the related section of the project portal. The reports presents examples of successful experiences in the partner countries and the results of testing of ICT resources with science teachers.
