Projects

The research project EDOEL provides a tool for teachers to help them develop and evaluate ESD in teaching practice.

This project aims to explore the possibilities of STEM education as a lever for school development in the context of equal opportunities, by designing and guiding a learning network (CoP – Community of Practice).

Open mind, critical thinking, good listening: philosophical questioning in secondary school.

Today, inquisitive skills are, among others, central to STEM education (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engingeering and Mathematics). This focuses on (the integration of) mathematics, science and technology.

It is important to teach children and young people sustainable scientific insights to increase their interest and motivation for science.

Creativity and inquiry fused in natural sciences first grade secondary education (A and B stream).

The ‘Creative Little Scientists’ project is within the Seventh Framework Programme for Research. This is the main funding instrument for research within the European Union. Part of the project funds have been allocated to the Arteveldehogeschool.

Within the 'Fablab Junior' project, playgrounds in Flanders work for one week with the Fablab Junior toolkit. This includes a desktop laser cutter and a 3D printer.

The 'ALERT' network wants organisations (both within the formal and non-formal fields) to reflect on a meaningful interpretation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in practice.

In March 2013, commissioned by the VLOR (Flemish Education Council), the book ‘Zin in wetenschappen, wiskunde en techniek. Leerlingen motiveren voor STEM’ by publisher Acco. The authors are Hilde Van Houte, Bea Merckx, Jan De Lange and Melissa De Bruycker, all researchers at Arteveldehogeschool.
