Project Summary

The project was implemented in international cross-sectoral cooperation involving 3 higher education institutions, 2 post-gymnasium schools and one non-governmental organization related to the education sector. The project was realized in the period 01.09.2014 to 31.08.2017.
The main objective of the project was to develop a methodology integrating computer science with mathematics and physics in post-gymnasium schools on the basis of the pilot program. The goal was realized by introducing innovative teaching methods in mathematics, physics and computer science using Python / SAGE programming.
The implementation of the project was partly based on the exchange of good transnational practices related to education and the use of peer learning and learning by doing methods.
A key role in the project was the coordination of computer science with the physics and mathematics curriculum for enhancing students’ knowledge and skills in the field of computational perspectives (Methods of visualization such as f (x) planning, numerical methods, computer algebra, data processing. Unlike many other educational computerization solutions, the project uses interactive learning (Python and SageMath).
Results of intellectual work:
O1- Teaching materials for over 20 lessons in mathematics and physics
The materials cover integrated thematic issues. In addition, the materials contained a set of matriculation tasks that can be solved with Sage.
O2 – Report: Methodology for integrating computer methods with science teaching, including: the results of the work and observation of the classes conducted in partner schools, methodological guidelines, teacher materials
The results are available, among other on the VALOR dissemination platform,on http://visual.icse.us.edu.pl/metodologia and http://visual.icse.us.edu.pl/methodology.
Worksheets (including the published work of teachers and students), which may also be valuable material for other teachers are available on the server:
https://sage01.icse.us.edu.pl/pub/.
The results were worked out in Polish and English.
The results were worked out are the response to the need for target groups diagnosed at the project preparation stage.
At the planning stage of the project it was agreed that all materials would be published under the CC-BY-SA license, allowing them to be further developed. Creative Commons licenses allow authors to preserve their own rights and share their creativity with others. This approach is in line with the Erasmus + program’s open, accessible access to materials, documents and media for learning, teaching, training and youth work that are part of projects funded by the program. Both the Leader and the project partners are obliged to publish the results of the project in digital form, available free of charge via the Internet.
All teaching materials have been tested in partner schools. Consultations were also conducted with other teachers of subjects: mathematics, physics, computer science, chemistry, as well as methodological consultants. On the basis of experience, a final report – methodology was created.
The results of intellectual work are widely disseminated on the scale of the region and the country as well as abroad. During the project, two conferences were held – inaugural in January 2015 at the Silesian University in Chorzów and final in June 2017 at the partner school in Warsaw.
Long-term benefits are primarily related to the persistent nature of the results of intellectual work, as well as the intensification of cooperation between partner institutions.
