The aim of this online course is to equip teachers with essential skills and knowledge to teach STEM and ICT with the help of inquiry-based pedagogy. In the end of this MOOC, participants will be able to build their own inquiry-based activities for ICT and STEM teaching, tailored to fit their classrooms and their needs.
After taking this MOOC, teachers will become familiar with the main tools for ICT teaching and with inquiry method in both primary and secondary school, and will be able to create engaging learning material to use in their classrooms. Moreover, we are expecting that this MOOC will bring together ICT and STEM teachers from different European countries, involve them in a dialog on ICT teaching and build a community of committed teachers.
This course will be open to anyone who is willing to take it, but the main target audience is ICT and STEM teachers (both in-service and pre-service) in Europe and beyond. This MOOC will be open to any interested teachers of other subjects who would like to learn more about ICT tools and inquiry-based science education, or career counselors who are looking for a career material for STEM and ICT-related jobs.
In order to earn a course certificate, course participants need to complete all four modules, including completing the final peer review activity at the end of Module 4. The final deadline to complete all activities is 16 October 2019, 23:59 CEST.
