A list of AoI activities in 10 languages that have been developed with the collaboration of Science Centres, Research Institutions & Museums. These are STEM activities that combine science teaching and learning with core RRI principles
How to foster successful inquiry learning in the science classroom? The Ark of Inquiry project proposed, at its core, that the use of an inquiry model when undertaking scientific learning activities in the classroom would be the most effective path to success. However, that was not all that the project discovered would be useful for teachers in the science classroom.
It is common that learning materials need modifications and additions before they can be used in the classroom. Inquiry activities are no exception, and many teachers may find it natural and necessary to adapt existing inquiry activities to their local needs and circumstances. There may also be teachers who do not naturally consider adaptation and thus may ignore and miss potentially applicable and productive inquiry activities.
This toolbox contains tools and procedures to evaluate pupils’ inquiry proficiency and challenge their RRI competences. The toolbox puts an emphasis on formative assessment: reflect on what has been done in order to decide what needs to be done next. The toolbox provides instruments that can be used at three levels of proficiency: A (novice), B (basic), and C level (advanced). At each of the three proficiency levels pupils can take a summative test to confirm and prove their proficiency.
