Sciencegirls

Smo Evropsko projektno partnerstvo, ki dejavno podpira dekleta v šoli. Omogočamo jim, da bodo razširila svoje znanje, ter razumevanje znanstvene skupnosti in znanosti v vsakdanjem življenju.

Gospodarstvo in socialna kohezija bosta v prihodnosti odvisna od mladih z nadpovprečnimi veščinami, zanimanjem in zmožnostmi, ki presegajo tradicionalni izobraževalni sistem.
Evropa potrebuje mlade znanstvenike na področju inovacij in raziskav, ki imajo pozitivno izkušnjo iz obdobja šolskega izobraževanja iz naravoslovnih ved.

Evropska komisija je vse bolj zaskrbljena, saj se mladi vse manj odločajo za študij naravoslovja.

Komisija je v več dokumentih, raziskavah in smernicah zapisala program za učenje na področju naravoslovja.

Glavni namen projekta je povečati interes mladih za učenje naravoslovnih vsebin v osnovnih in srednjih šolah, na način, da uvedemo nove oblike poučevanja.

Prizadevanje znanosti se včasih ne sklada z ženskostjo in njenimi pogledi. Zaradi tega moramo biti previdni, da naravoslovje ne povezujemo preveč z moški in njihovim načinom razmišljanja, saj s tem povzročimo neenakost med spoloma. Znanost je kompleksna, ponovljiva in odporna na spremembe, zaradi česar je posebej problematična za dekleta oziroma ženske.

Dekleta bodo vključena v tri večje izzive v okviru projektnega programa:

KAKO ČUTIMO ZNANOST:

Z ustvarjanjem pristnejšega razumevanja znanosti z upoštevanjem razlik med spoloma in vključevanjem znanosti v obdobju zgodnjega šolanja. Pri tem se najstniška dekleta vključujejo kot soustvarjalke programa. S svojo osebno zgodbo tako lahko pripomorejo h končnemu izidu.te de co-creatori ai acestei înțelegeri, prin a depune mărturie despre educația personală și colectivă, prin relatări relevante la gen și imaginea științei în societate.

ZNANOST V VSAKDANJEM ŽIVLJENJU:

Sodelujoči učitelji in dekleta so vključeni v resnične in realistične znanstvene in raziskovalne izkušnje. Sodelujejo z lokalno skupnostjo, spoznavajo ženske vzornice, znanost in znanstvene raziskave.

VIZIJA ZGODNJE VKLJUČITVE ZNANOSTI:

Dekleta so vključena kot soustvarjalke novih učnih metod, ki bodo bolj privlačne in pomembne za najstniška dekleta glede na njihovo spolno identiteto.

ScienceGirls Guide

The SCIENCEGIRLS GUIDE TO GENDER-SENSITIVE SCIENCE LEARNING INNOVATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOL offers secondary schools across Europe authentic inspiration to engage in gender-sensitive science learning innovation.
The ScienceGirls Guide offers:
• guidance on the basic principles in innovative gender-sensitive science learning
• special guidance on the epic dimension of creating deep and sustainable interest among female teenagers in research, science and innovation
• guidance on working with the community and establishing community partnerships, including with female role-models
• guidance on the practical aspects of young students’ co-creation and the accompanying teacher roles
The testimonies and contributions from the girls’ teams and their support teachers demonstrate the impact on the students and on the teachers.

ScienceGirls Video

The aim of the video is to allow the girls’ teams to document and share their local and collaborative experience along the project, and in particular to document and describe their reactions to the innovative work forms and activities in the project with a special focus on how the project activities changed their mentality and created a renewed interest in science learning with strong links to female identities and aspirations.

ScienceGirls Scenarios

SCIENCEGIRLS SCENARIOS OF INNOVATIVE SCIENCE LEARNING is the future-oriented outcome of the project. The scenarios illustrate scenes of gender-sensitive and female oriented science learning situations and try to explain – why the scenario is attractive to teenage girls – how the scenario offers science engagement in line with the formation of female identities – what would be the wider benefit of such science learning approaches.

Co-creation

The primary aim of SCIENCE LEARNING CO-CREATION paper is to present the project’s lessons learned in a form that is useful to schools, educational authorities, researchers and policy-makers as the project is one of the first attempts in Europe to base its results on the direct and uncompromised co-creation from the involved female teenagers.

Who will drive

The policy paper INNOVATION IN (GENDER-SENSITIVE) SCIENCE LEARNING IN SCHOOLS IS IMMINENT – BUT WHO WILL DRIVE? provides real-life based insights concerning the need of a strong gender-perspective in order to innovate science learning in schools, and makes recommendations in terms of availability of resources for further research, innovation and practical experimentation.
The primary aim of this paper is to present the project’s lessons learned in a form that is useful to schools, educational authorities, researchers and policy-makers.

Raw materials

One of the roles that the teams of girls undertook in ScienceGirls project was that of being a journalist, which was aimed to record their activities and testimonies along the project in order to foster the creation of deep and sustainable interest among peer female teenagers in research, science and innovation.
