Project Summary

Auto Highschool from Targoviste has 30 years experience in the field of automotive technician technical skills, automotive technician for high school education, auto mechanic, car painting and installer of technical and sanitary installations and gas for professional education.
The Gymnasium in Gorzyce Wielkie is the public school which was founded on the first of September in 1999. But now, from the first September 2017 the Gymnasium is change for Primary School of name Ignacy Ulatowski in Gorzyce Wielkie.
Liceo Pasolini is a Scientific High school, meaning that our programmes focus especially on scientific/mathematical subjects.
In particular, the school offers two educational curricula: one traditional where Latin is studied together with Maths, Science, Physics, Philosophy, Art, English and the other in applied sciences based on the knowledge of science, Maths, ITC, Physics, English, Art.
BAYRAKLI NURİ ATİK MESLEKİ VE TEKNİK ANADOLU LİSESİ is a vocational and technical high(secondary) school is a vocational and technical high(secondary) school. It has 4 buildings including 1 educational building, 2 department building, 1 sports hall and student residence. There are 1000 students and 85 teachers in the school. It has 24 regular classrooms, 15 department classrooms, a science laboratory, a library, a school canteen, a meeting room and a conference room. In addition all classes have interactive white board, internet.
The identified institutional needs are:
– the high school in Romania is the lack of interest of the students in the study of the sciences. This is due to the low level of students who choose this high school, the traditional methods used by teachers.
-the school in Turkey is low attractiveness to science learning and the lack of awareness of the importance of science in training and because of immigrant pupils
The Italian partner identified the institution’s need to use innovative learning and teaching techniques to involve students in scientific disciplines.
The Polish partner has determined that the need for the institution is the poor use of experiments in the study of sciences and the predominant use of theoretical methods.
The aim of the project is to introduce in the educational practice of partner schools new approaches to integrated science education, to acquire pupils ‘skills and learning skills to facilitate understanding of scientific notions and to enhance students’ interest in the study of sciences.
The objectives are:
O1. Improving the quality of scientific lessons, integrating ICT, non-formal methods through cooperation in the European context in the field of education by the end of the project.
O2. increasing the graduation rate at the end of the studies and getting a job in the market economy in the next two years.
O3. developing social skills, communicating in European languages, mutual knowledge, self-knowledge by participating in European programs.
To achieve the objectives, the project team has set up the following activities:
O1 – a teacher training activity and will focus on active teaching methods in Italy
– presented the education systems and different test models for final evaluation and final cycle exams in Romania
– the lab sheets of each partner for scientific experiments, each school of 2 for each science, which must be collected in a brochure to work in Poland.
-Supporting scientific experimental lessons.
O2 – observation of scientific experiments
-creating a dictionary of 20 natural phenomena from all sciences.
O3-making projects on the etwinning platform – World Water Day, Environment Day
The participants are science teachers who want to improve, with managerial responsibilities and students aged 13-16.
