• Collaboration and Reflection on Socio-Scientific Debates

Learning Environments

The CoReflect project is based on the idea of several collaborating learning communities, all working towards the same goal of developing empirically tested and evidence-based interactive curricula for supporting inquiry learning. For this purpose, seven learning environments (LEs) have been designed on the STOCHASMOS platform in English and in the local language of each partner. These LEs afford authentic inquiries of multi-modal, rich scientific data and open-ended, problem-based learning around a socio-scientific topic. They are part of a coherent framework in the context of educational policy at the level of a local educational authority or a national system. LEs have an explicit pedagogical philosophy that encompasses constructivist and collaborative learning and promotes reflective inquiry based teaching practices.They include an extensive inquiry learning activity that will allow students to become engaged, develop their own plan of action, and sustain problem solving over an extended number of hours. Target age: 10 to 16 years old.
