Reference group
The reference group in S-TEAM is responsible for user comments on specific deliverables and overall progress. Its coordinator is Pernilla Nilsson, Högskolan i Halmstad (Pernilla.Nilsson@hh.se).
A new idea, suggested by Colin Smith is that we could form sub-groups of the reference group in different countries, not necessarily all of the partner countries but enough to give a range of opinion. Currently Scotland, Sweden, Germany and Hungary might be places where sub-groups could easily be established.
Currently our suggestions for the group are as follows:
A) One or more experts in science education, including experts from countries outside the consortium
i Suggestion from Matthias Stadler?
ii Jan van Driel; NL?
iii Japanese partner visiting NTNU in September 2009?
b One or more experts in teacher education, including experts from countries outside the consortium
i French NLP?
ii Italian partner form INQUEST?
c At least one media representative (e.g. science journalist)
i Newton or Schrødingers katt journalist?
ii English journalist; a column on science education.
d Representative(s) of teacher organisations or councils outside the consortium
i HRTA
e Representative(s) of student teachers
i The Baltics; Lituanian NLP and TLU will be challenged to nominate one
f Representative(s) of parent groups
i NLP Denmark will be challenged to nominate one
g A minimum of two policymakers or educational policy advisors, each from a different EU country
i General teaching council of Scotland;
ii Suggestion from Matthias Stadler?
iii EC; Paul Holdsworth? DG education? Could be possible. Position is more important than field.
iv Leader of the MST cluster?
h One or more industrial partners
i Corporate responsibility in science education?
ii Suggestion from Monica Menapace?
