Teaching Experimental Sciences (ISS Project)
The ISS project is a response to the negative results of the past PISA assessments on school performances of Italian students. It is addressed to teachers of primary and of the first two years of secondary school; it aims to improve the methodological approach in the teaching of scientific disciplines recognizing the centrality of experience and experimentation.
The main goal of the initiative is to raise the scientific literacy level of Italian students. To reach this objective, the project intends to i) promote lifelong learning of teachers with the help of territorial facilities; ii) promote the didactic autonomy, contributing to define formative standards for scientific disciplines, in order to establish levels of ability to be progressively reached.
