REGISTRATION
ABOUT THE MOOCS PACKAGE
The first STEM MOOCs package of European Schoolnet Academy consists of three unique MOOCs and allows teachers to obtain a special certificate from European Schoolnet Academy on their “Connecting STEM to the world all around us in an Integrated STEM expertise”. These courses give teachers the opportunity to bring their learning experience to the next level by mastering the integration of real-world STEM problems in their lessons with the ‘STEM is Everywhere!’ MOOC, and discovering how to develop and implement a STEM integrated lesson plan with the STE(A)M IT MOOCs.
Designed and carried out by Scientix, the community for science education in Europe, the ‘STEM is Everywhere! Rerun’ MOOC will help primary and secondary school teachers, and teacher trainers from Europe and beyond, to identify Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in everyday life and learn how to integrate real-world STEM problems to their lessons and practice.
The ‘Integrated STEM Teaching for Primary Schools’ MOOC is relevant to primary school teachers of all levels of experience who are interested in learning how to go from teaching isolated Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics classes, to a real integrated STEM teaching of these topics, not only among themselves but with all other disciplines. This MOOC will examine the opportunities offered by integrated STEM teaching and will provide many practical examples.
The ‘Integrated STEM Teaching for Secondary Schools’ MOOC aims to provide secondary school teachers with essential skills and knowledge to go from isolated Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics classes, to a real integrated STEM teaching of these topics. And not only among themselves but with all other disciplines. Furthermore, you will be able to explore exemplary STE(A)M integrated lesson plans created and tested by other teachers, and many more relevant resources.
