 pdf format  [here|steam:Work package 9^TimelineWP9-final.pdf]. The idea of the timeline is to develop a relationship between products/deliverables of WPs 2-8 and those of WP9, i.e. the relevant evaluation forms, surveys etc. The timeline is also available as [docx|^TimelineWP9-final.docx]  or as [xlsx|^TimelineWP9-final.xlsx].

Jana Heinz has joined the Jena team.



Objective:
* to ensure that all project activities can demonstrate measurable impact on the  topics  identified by the Call, and to ensure that the instruments and methods employed can be  used formatively in science education wherever possible.

*Description of work   *

The aim of WP9, led by Friedrich Schiller University Jena (FSU), is to complement the other WPs  by providing instruments, indicators and methods by which the success of the project actions can  be measured.   WP9 will:
* Identify indicators for pupil attitudes and motivation in science, and scientific  literacy.
* Identify instruments to measure the efficiency and efficacy of existing science  teaching  practices and teacher educators
* Carry out surveys and evaluations to monitor the success of project deliverables
* Promote the formative application of the above indicators and instruments
* Identify ways of measuring collaboration between teachers in science education

WP9 plays an essential role in assuring the scientific and technical quality of the  project. Furthermore, WP9 aims to provide knowledge and tools that will be useful to science  teachers and teacher educators in the formative assessment of practice,  including the perspective  of students in science classrooms. In order to accomplish the objectives of WP9, national and international instruments with regard to student, teacher and teacher educator's perspectives on science teaching will be reviewed.  Priority will be given to existing instruments such as PISA 2006 which was focused on science. With instruments from PISA 2006 it will be possible to assess pupil attitudes and interest  with regard to science, scientific literacy and science teaching practices and innovative methods. Furthermore, PISA 2006 offers the possibility to compare S-TEAM activities against the baseline of each country. International instruments from  PISA 2006 will be complemented by national instruments and instrument targeting specific foci of S-TEAM. Questionnaire instruments will be combined with video based documentation of innovative methods in science education
