Teach Advanced Online & Collaborative (TAOC) is an international CPD programme designed to capture the CPD evidence generated during curriculum re-development and the creation of related resources. It does this through the use of a five-step Learning Path. This five step approach provides a framework in which new ideas can be planned, developed, used and evaluated.
The Pollen project recently held its Berlin European conference on science education in primary school and has just produced a bookletdescibing its main achievements since 2006.
OOne of the most interesting projects in this area is ROSE (Relevance of Science Education), mainly because it is a large-scale international project with real research content (ah, the R-word!).
ROSE is an international comparative research project meant to shed light on factors of importance to the learning of science and technology (S&T) - as perceived by the learners. Key international research institutions and individuals work jointly on the development of theoretical perspectives, research instruments, data collection and analysis.
