DOTS - Development of transversal skills in STEM

Community   1 member

The DOTS project is all about helping students develop key transversal skills while learning about science in formal and informal settings

The DOTS project is working with professionals in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and teacher trainers in order to address a certain gap between the educational policies, national curricula and societal needs. Bringing in international experts and giving them opportunities to co-create, analyze and reshape teacher training methods will explore the possibilities of teaching transversal skills within the STEM classroom environment. All of this is done in order to move teachers beyond specific fields of STEM and to broaden their teaching approach. Here are the 3 main objectives of the project: 

 

  1. Development of methods, materials & tools for the support of learning and teaching transversal skills.

  2. Training of teachers to implement the developed methods, tools and materials in their teaching practice.

  3. Evaluation of the applicability and usefulness of developed methods, tools and materials.

 

Finally, the overall aim of this project is the improvement of transversal skills teaching of STEM teachers and trainers, all in order to produce innovative teaching approaches.
