Work Package 2, led by the University of Oslo (UIO), will be responsible for collecting and analysing data on policy and practice in order to produce an overview of the current and emerging situation regarding teacher education, science teaching and innovative methods. This overview, produced in the form of two reports together with pages on this website, will detail the complex interaction of policy, research and practice in this area, using data from the consortium's National Liaison Partners (NLP) and from contact with key actors in the policy community. WP2 will promote the development of a new network connecting teacher education policy with science education policy. Its initial task will be to collect evidence about national policy and practice through a series of workshops in each of the consortium countries, attended by staff members from WP2 and WP3. All national liaison partners will provide a description of the policy situation and thestate-of-the-art in science teacher education in their own countries. These descriptions will be discussed during workshops which will be held in conjunction with the workshops for the consideration of SINUS modules in WP3, in order to avoid excessive travel. The workshops will involve the national liaison partners (NLP) and key actors in science education. NLPs have each been allocated 3PM in WP3 to cover the tasks of setting up and attending the workshops. see national workshops programmeand liaison partners for more information, including an updated paper from Doris and Matthias.
