SCeTGo


SCeTGo = Science Center ToGo

Programme: Lifelong Learning, KA3 ICT

Official Start: 01/01/2010

Duration: 2 years

Consortium: 10 partners from 7 countries (Finland, Germany, Greece, Romania, Spain, Sweden, UK)

•Playful exhibit

•Motivate learning

Augmented

Reality

•Evince a phenomena

•Facilitate understanding

Real School

•Incorporated in the curricula

•Adapted to the pupils level


a Science Museum

emphasize a Hands-on Approach


Allows showing the invisible

Makes evident hidden phenomena

Provides additional information


based on an inquiry-based and creative problem based approach

Integrates augmented reality (AR technology) applications on miniature exhibits

for improving science education, enhance scientific literacy and their critical thinking skills

recognises the diversity of personal learning styles and behaviours in different contexts and applications

promoting young people’s interest in science


The miniatures support until now 5 experiments:

- The double cone paradox

- The double slits wave experiment

- Airfoil miniwing experiment

- The Doppler effect

- The Bolzman experiment


PROACTIVE


PROACTIVE

Programme: Lifelong Learning, KA3 ICT

Official Start: 01/01/2010

Duration: 2 years

Consortium: 6 partners from 4 countries (Italy, Romania, Spain, UK)

In natural situations learners combine simultaneously 5 metaphors for learning: Imitation, Participation, Acquisition, Exercising, and Discovery

Game-based learning (GBL) supports creativity and inquiry-based learning processes

15

PROACTIVE GOAL is to Foster Teachers’

Creativity

Acquisition: transfer of knowledge, from teacher to learner

Imitation: modeling behaviours observing others

Exercising: repetition of action in order to learn

Participation: learning by participation with others

Discovery: by doing things by yourself, you discover… allows for incidental learning.


Using video games in educational settings can enhance students’ motivation towards learning.

Video games can provide challenging experiences that promote the intrinsic satisfaction of the players and therefore keep them engaged and motivated


Creative teachers encourage students to becreative

The educational systems encourages the no creativity paradigm (no errors, no try out, no different answers, etc.

• Is a socio-cultural approach to teachingwith games

•Allows teachers to use games in theirsituated contexts

•Uses the situated action as unity of analysisand takes in care the contexts, the subkects and the tools.

•Is the students favourite learning

•Is a self directed learning practice

•The sharing of the game allows students tonegotiate with teachers the whole learningprocess and to reshape the game itself

•Is a cultural artifact that can be shared withstudents and reshaped within their practices

•Is tailored on teachers’ needs, according toinstitutional constraints

•Lets PROACTIVE partners to fosteringteachers’ creativity

•Makes teachers becoming aware of differentlearning models

•Helps teachers acting as a mediator betweenstudents and institution expectations

•Will be delivered within a socio-cultural approach of teaching with games

Scenarios


The learning models sould help designers tomake explicit their technological decisions, and facilitate teachers to put TEL innovations intopractice.

A well defined pedagogical approach (IBL) embedded into rich (AR) experiments, couldimprove the educational outcomes (SCeTGo)

A creative teacher varies his/her teachingstrategies: by designing educational games, thiscould be possible (PROACTIVE)
