Liceo “Niccolò Machiavelli” Florence, Italy Manual for Innovatve Pedagogy in STEM Contents An Erasmus+ project to increase secondary students’ achievements in Science subjects Edited by Massimo Amato and Anna Siri Erasmus+ Project Number: 2017-1-IT02-KA201-036780 The role of technology in educational settings has become increasingly prominent in recent years. When utilized ef- fectively, the ICT tools provide a higher quality of learning for students and a new stimuli for teachers. The “Do Well Science” project, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, KA2 - Strategic Partnership in the feld of School education, covered ITC tools and STEM subjects aimed at increasing secondary students learning results in Maths, Physics and Natural Sciences through the development of a new software architecture and learning and teaching pack- ages addressed to both teachers and students. This guide means to present the results of the project and it is mainly designed to be relevant for all learners of higher school worldwide and to fnd its application in all sorts of learning settings. Educators can use this text as a resource when developing training on Science in formal and non formal educational settings. Policy-makers may fnd it helpful to consider core ideas when developing education policies or strategies. It can also be used to build on existing work in ESD and related areas such as global citizenship education, environmen- tal education and others. Because the target group is diverse and possible uses of this guidance are manifold, while in their concrete implemen- tation they will, naturally, have to be adapted to the national or local context. Massimo Amato Massimo is graduated in Aerospace Engineering in 2001. After three years as Project Manager for an International Company he started working as teacher in Mathematics, Physics and Information Technologies in high schools. Over the years, he has played important roles within the schools and at the Lyceum “Machiavelli” is responsible for two school and safety management commissions, security and prevention. Always aware of the new technologies and the dynamics of teaching, he focuses on student engagement for dynamic, efective and long-term learning. He had par- ticipated in the Erasmus+ “Goerudio” project, is involved in other two European projects under the Erasmus Plus KA Strategic Partnership has been doing research in Maths teaching through music, he’s in contact with North Caroline School of Mathematics and Science to interchange the experiences and methodologies of Science teaching. He is the coordinator of “Do Well Science” Erasmus Plus project. Anna Siri Anna is a specialist in educational research. She obtained her PhD in Evaluation of Educational Processes and Sys- tems at the University of Genoa (Italy). Her research areas of interest include the measurement and determinants of instruction, how educational innovations impact instruction, and how instruction afects student learning. She has been involving in international research projects for 15 years and she currently coordinates two European projects under the Erasmus Plus KA Strategic Partnership and a ministerial project funded by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities under the 2018 European Year of Culture. She has published many articles and reports mainly related to special educational needs, assessment and evaluation, and innovative teaching methodologies, and she has ac- tively participated in paper presentations and symposiums at major research association meetings. She also has many years of experience as a project manager and scientifc writer. Anna is a Founder Member of the interdisciplinary UNESCO Chair on “Anthropology of health – Biosphere and Healing systems”. Manual for Innovatve Pedagogy in STEM Contents
