How will it be used?

CERN visitors - in total: approx. 80 000 p. a.

CERN visitors - school students: approx. 30 000 p. a.

Participants of CERN teacher programmes: approx. 1 000 p. a.

Capacity of S’Cool LAB: approx. 3 600 p. a.

(data from 01/09/13 – 01/09/14)

How will it be used?► NOT AS VISIT POINT!

Distribution of visiting school groups by country(data from 01/09/13 – 01/03/14)

7

How will it be used? To be used by pupils and teachers who come to CERN for more than half a day By the end of 2014: launch Website + application form + e-learning environment School groups who want to discover the S’Cool LAB have to prepare themselves

via our e-learning environment and have to take part in the impact research in physics education

Definition – students laboratoryScience Lab for Pupils, „Schülerlabor“

• Possibility to explore modern science • well equipped laboratories (high tech instruments)• young people explore science independently • regular offers

Theoretical backgroundsucces factors: some research data - pupils

success factors (Pawek 2009)- general factor: climate / quality of material / mentoring by tutors- contextual factors: link to the everyday’s life / authenticity

other important factor: - curricular links, in-school embedding
