ERIS Project

achers of mathematics and science, and students from at least 30 schools: 5 junior high schools and 5 high schools in each partner country: Poland, Romania and France. In the testing phase teaching materials (10 packages) in national languages and in English to work with students in junior high and high schools will be prepared. Packages will be tested in chosen schools in each partner country. Packages will be adapted to the needs of end-users: teachers and students, according to the results of the evaluation studies. In the dissemination phase all interested schools in partner countries, as well as in whole Europe, will have the opportunity to take part in the project for free. They will use prepared packages during their lessons and take part in the webcasts of online lessons conducted by scientist in national languages and in English. Such virtual meetings with scientists will give a closer look at the specificity of scientific work, the measurements and research in the field of mathematics and science. That meetings can also be an inspiration for students and encourage them to continue an independent exploration of science. Except form educational packages ERIS Project will provide:
guide for teachers on the effective exploitation of research results in school practice with examples of good practice in this area;
conferences for teachers, which will increase the level of use of project‘s products among schools that have not participated in the testing phase. The project will contribute to the growth of students’ ability to search for reliable sources of knowledge, and participation in online lessons and usage of educational resources in English will contribute to the increase of students’ language skills and expand specialized vocabulary in STEM. It may be very useful for future students of STEM studies, which are crucial for knowledge-based economy of Europe. In the long term, the project will also help to increase the understanding of the language of science and scientific messages.
