Projects

In this exploratory study, we explore media literacy in primary and secondary schools among students aged 8 to 14.

Using VR technology, we bring art and culture from museums to the classroom for students aged 8 to 16.

The RISE project stands for Remote Inquiries in Science Education and surfs on new ways of teaching that science/STEM teachers and their students faced during the corona crisis.

VALIES is a co-creative research project that focuses on the professional development of teachers to make Education for Sustainable Development (EDO) a success at school together with their school team.

Extreme weather and failing climate policies top the list of major risks threatening the global order (WEF, 2020). It is remarkable that not the climate crisis, but the failing climate policy is mentioned. Climate policy means that democratic and political choices must be made for a sustainable future. To this end, we want to train children with Education for Sustainable Development (EDO). ESD comprises learning processes that teach students competences to consciously and actively make choices through dialogue (conversations, debate and discussion).

During the Make.Think.Tinkering study, the researchers set to work with 12 teachers from six schools to test the methodology against the Flemish educational field.

In this PWO project, the possibilities and concrete implementation of the new attainment targets and curricula for the subject disciplines geography, natural sciences and engineering from the first grade of secondary education were studied within a first line of research.

This project is committed to translating scientific insights around risky play into practical tools and handholds for supervisors of toddlers.

This learning network is committed to acquiring and sharing insights about STEM education in primary school.

During the international PWO project STEM & Movement, we want to explore together with the University of Stavanger (Norway) how to shape an integrated approach to STEM and movement in pre-primary education.
