KidsINNscience: Innovation in Science Education - Turning Kids on to Science

Share this project

KidsINNscience develops and tests adaptive strategies to facilitate the innovation of curricula and teaching and learning of science and technology in formal and informal education.

KidsINNscience is a research project involving ten partner countries from Europe and Latin America. It aims to identify and promote innovative approaches for teaching and learning science, adapt and test them for implementation in mainstream schools, and develop innovative strategies for science and technology education in all participating countries.

The overall aim is to raise the interest of young people in science and technology and to increase the number of young people entering a career in science.

The basic assumption of the project is that innovations in science and technology education can work effectively if they are adapted to the local circumstances. KidsINNscience enables participating countries to learn from each other and to develop feasible innovation plans that fit their specific conditions.

The aims of the project are to:

  • facilitate educationalists at different positions in the educational system to operate more creatively within the system and to help generate change toward more active learning systems, and
  • help to improve performance and interest in science and technology among young people

Cultural diversity, gender aspects and activity based/learner-centred approaches are explicitly addressed in all phases of the project.
