I would like to admit - if the link doesn't work, just copy it and paste in the URL line and the questionaire will open ...
And I really need your opinion, it will help me a lot.
Thank you!

Hi Biruta
I tried to see your questionnaire but it was not available. Did you cancel it already?

No, Andreu, I just filled it in

Hi Diana
thank you for a very detailed information on PRIMAS. Are participants in that project also joining these communities of Practice? It would be good to know about their advances!

Tsetsa Tsolova Hristova:

Inspire is very interesting project with modeling of processes. It is very useful for teachers.Students liked this project very much too!

I agree, Tsetsa. At my school I teach at different levels of science and I do not have much laboratory time but I have used online simulations and the students seem to really enjoy the simulations. I have thought about incorporating them as a pre-laboratory activity, with the students using the simulation and answering some questions before coming into the laboratory and having thereby some hands-on experience. Do you have any experience with an approach like this?

These are my favourate web2 tools for mathematics:

The Moodle VLE + integrated forum

Joomla content management system to collaborate

and of course GeoGebra dynamic software for mathematics

http://www.mathelo.be and http://www.geogebra.org

Ivan

This is a good thread!
What I like more, to work with students:
- blogs
- Modellus (a powerful mathematical and science modelling tool)
- dropbox, to exchange files with them in a shared cloud space

Now that Astronomy is in, it would be good to hear about participants in the ITEMS project, I read somewhere that Astronomy was one of the main topics thay worked with.

RE: informal science

Furthermore, it would be interesting to discuss the differences among formal education, non formal education and informal education. In Science, in particular, one would like to know where misconceptions, for instance, arise fundamentally, is it from no-formal educational environments? Is it from our science classes?

I read recently that not only misconceptions are difficult to change, but that they fluctuate, and students change a fraction of their beliefs from time to time.

Do you know of any study of Inquiry Based methods and change of students misconceptions in Science?

How does it work, if I am interested in a few GP??

RE: women in science

2012-01-08T20:02:35Z

There is a large literature on Women in Science that one maight use in class.

Specially when one taken into account Science, Technology and Society issues in the Science classroom, to make it closer to the pupils.

Valeria, I believe they are. COnferences, Seminars, etc. are all valuable resources to get students (and parent and even grandparents!) interested in Science, don't you think?
