CERN OR 11./12. 10.2002 PISA 2002

NWW Auftakt (i.e. science workshop initiation event) / working groups

• what are useful tasks in physics?

• open learning with examples in chemistry

• action oriented teaching

• projects in stead of written tests

• teamteaching and interdisciplinary teaching, focussing on experiments

• SMS („so machts Spaß“ i.e „it‘s fun“) motivating and correlating to everyday life

• „mathe-online“

CERN OR 11./12. 10.2002 PISA 2002

NWW Auftakt / presented good practice: 14 examples

• effective entrance to teaching and breaking-up in life sciences

• a pupil oriented learning model in chemistry

• international projects as a source for motivation (POS, LIU, Sci-Tech...)• „Mathetik“ of science

• a contest in biology

• a physics teaching kit• science applications of maths

• experience oriented teaching in biology, ecology and product assessment

• physics – image and reality (a multiple intelligence approach to learning)• creative teaching

(drama)

• practice orientated experimental teaching in chemistry

• mediabased teaching with special impact on physics of traffic

• a new approach to voltage• a new approach to differential equations

European System for Particle and Astrophysics Cyber Education

• a webbased teaching tool generating and using a Learning Data Base http://db.kph.tuwien.ac.at

• elements of LDB consist of learning atom, multimedia goodie, link and suggestion for hands on

• Innovation: generation of LDB-elements via Browser

Further steps:

• didactic work on breaking down of topics into LDB elements

• keyword handling of LDB elements for lesson building

• Adaption of LDB for integration of scripts into LDB elements
