MASS, Motivate and Attract Students to Science

Share this project

Would you like to know how science education can become more attractive and accessible to students? Join the MASS community!

The intention of the MASS project is to identify, analyse, evaluate and disseminate practical tools and methods in teaching science that can effectively increase students’ motivation and give them a higher level of basic skills in science.

Eight countries (Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Greece, Cyprus and the Netherlands) have put together their expertise and joined forces to explore what happens in science lessons and to find good practices that involve innovative methods in teaching science.

The MASS project has identified three major challenges in making science education more attractive to students:

  1. Science through digital learning

    The majority of today´s generation of students use digital devices, Internet applications or social media every day. The MASS project shares good practices and experiences in the use of digital tools and media that make science education more meaningful.

  2. Early Inquiry

    Inquiry has proven to be an effective method to attract children to science to increase their learning success, especially at a young age. The MASS project analyses barriers to using inquiry-based methods at schools and shows successful implementation of these methods in science classroom practice, with a special focus on primary school learners.

  3. Low achievers in science

    Science is a setting where people learn important lessons about the real world; which is why it must be delivered to every child. The MASS project collects, pilots, adapts and shares practices that can attract low achievers to science and help them develop some relevant key competences that are at the same time basic-life skills.

This project has been funded with support from the European Commission.
