Your voice matters! Take part of the Scientix® Community Tool polls
Every month, Scientix publishes new polls in the Scientix Community Tool (SCT), inviting educators to share their perspectives on some of the most relevant and fast-moving topics in education across Europe and beyond.
This month, we are exploring three important themes: what motivates teachers to share their STEM practices publicly, how educators approach assessment as the academic year draws to a close, and what teachers believe will shape the future of education over the next five years. These polls are more than quick questions; they help inform the conversations, pilots, projects, and initiatives developed within the Scientix community. We invite you to take part, compare your views with fellow educators, and make your voice part of the dialogue.
What would help you bring STEM careers into your classroom?
In April, we asked, and 146 of you answered! The vast majority of teachers (61%) said they are already using similar approaches. Another 12% would be open to doing so depending on time and curriculum fit, while 11% indicated that they would need ready-to-use materials or technical support to get started. Only a very small number felt that this type of activity does not fit their teaching context. Did you know? If you are looking for a great starting point, Scientix offers a collection of STEM Job Profiles (linked). Explore them and take your students on a STEM career journey without leaving the classroom!
AI in the classroom: teachers are exploring, but carefully!
Our March 2026 polls showed that educators are increasingly experimenting with AI to support the teaching of basic skills, particularly by creating additional practice exercises and adapting learning materials to students’ needs. In fact, 63% of respondents said they use AI to create additional practice exercises or more varied examples for students, while around 18% use it to support lesson planning. Another 18% reported encouraging students to use AI tools independently to support their learning. At the same time, the results highlight an important message: educators remain thoughtful and cautious about how AI is used in learning environments. The biggest concern, selected by 43% of respondents, was the fear of not being able to provide enough guidance to students when using AI. Another 33% were concerned about sharing student information, while 12% felt they did not yet have enough knowledge to use AI in more advanced ways. Interestingly, no respondents said they feared AI would replace their role in the classroom, and only a very small number reported not using AI because they did not see its value.
