17. Scientix European Conference 6-8 May 2011, Brussels Conclusions: • Key elements of a good science education system: school curriculum, pedagogy and assessment [...however...] the quality of an education system depends ultimately on the quality of its teachers. • All presentations on innovative approaches to science education --> inquiry- based approach (facts and figures + process of producing scientific knowledge). Practical experience –> learning by doing + first-hand contact with real research. • To fully exploit the concept of inquiry based learning, teachers have to be properly trained. Teachers should combine excellent knowledge of their subject with excellent pedagogical and assessment skills. • Take on board more teachers, researchers and science communicators to overcome fragmentation and promote best practices across Europe.

A selection of EU projects on science education. Year after year, hundreds of science education projects are funded by the European Commission but apart from the teachers or researchers directly involved in these projects not many people hear about the results obtained, especially when the projects are over.
The objective of the Scientix portal is to ensure that the knowledge and results of the projects reach a larger audience. Scientix was created to facilitate regular dissemination and sharing of know-how and best practices in science education across the European Union. The portal collects and disseminates teaching materials and research reports from European science education projects financed by the European Union under the 6th and 7th Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development (Directorate-General for Research and Innovation), the Lifelong Learning Programme (Directorate-General for Education and Culture) and various national initiatives. There are three interconnected parts: the Scientix portal, the European conference and the workshops
The portal collects teaching materials and research reports...
The projects section of the Scientix portal presents European science, maths and technology education projects which are financed by the European Commission or by other public entities. It is possible to search for projects by topic, target group, programme start and end year, or by the participating countries. All the project information is available in the six Scientix languages: English, French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish. All the information about each project is divided into three pages. The first page of the project presentation provides a general description of the project’s aims and goals, including information about the project’s partners, target groups, topics, timeline, and so on. In the project’s research information section, researchers and policy-makers will find a the project’s reports, case studies, deliverables and reports. The teacher information provides background information about the educational methodology behind the project and links to the teaching materials and other learning resources developed within the project if they have been made available for Scientix.
In the Scientix resource repository users can find and download various science education materials, such as teaching materials, lesson plans, reports, studies, guidelines and training courses. All the resources are available for free, thanks to the European projects that have developed them. Regarding the display of the resource repository, the title and the description of the resources are translated into all Scientix languages, whereas the resource or report stays in its original language.
In the case of teaching materials, some of them are available for the translation on demand service. This means that if a Scientix user finds a teaching material that is not available in his/her preferred language, as soon as he/she is registered on the portal, he/she can request an additional translation of the teaching materials.
Other sections of the portal:In the Scientix news section, you can find current national and international news on science education projects, events, competitions, etc. All news may be provided in any one of the 23 EU languages, but an English summary, a title and a teaser is added to the news in all the Scientix languages. News can be searched by the topic, target group, language or country related to the item, and an RSS feed is available.A complementary option to stay up-to-date with the latest news is to subscribe to the Scientix newsletter, available in the six portal languages. The newsletter consists of a monthly update of the new content of Scientix and is also published on the portal, where users can also find an archive of the previous issues of the newsletter.The Scientix events calendar brings together science education events from across Europe and beyond.The Scientix community is a platform for Scientix users to network, share experiences and ideas, and discuss the projects. The community provides two types of communication tools: the fora and the online chat.
The public profiles directory is a networking and partner search tool allowing you to search for potential project partners or a colleague with similar background or interests. Once you have registered on Scientix you will have the possibility to create your public profile page which will then be listed in the profiles directory. In the directory you can search for people by country, role, subjects, expertise or by keywords.
The public profile page contains contact details, a brief description of professional interests and career of the person, country, position, expertise in science education and related fields, language skills, a list of projects/activities the person is involved and organisation. There is also a window showing the person’s favourite resources on Scientix > user generated content
The description page of a Scientix resource will also show comments and ratings of the Scientix users.
The conference programme, summary, the presentations and their audio recordings are available online on the Scientix portal.
