Session 3: EU projects for researchers

3.2 The Secure project: recommendations on how to raise interest in MST at an early age
Wim Peeters, DKO vzw, Belgium

Abstract
The partners of the “Science Education Curriculum Research” project believe that raising the interest of the 5 - 13 age group, especially girls, might result in a more favourable bias towards MST. A number of recommendations to policy makers will be based on a rigorous research programme that will scrutinise and compare existing MST curricula as they are intended by the authorities, implemented by the teachers and perceived by the learners. This will be done in 10 partner countries, and for the 4, 8, 11 and 13 years-old learners.
