TEST – TECHNOLOGIES FOR STEAM TEACHING

The project “TEST: Technologies for STEAM Teaching” aims to promote innovative and quality teaching and learning through new technologies, especially in STEAM+A disciplines, whose empirical nature is not compatible with distance learning.

Scientific, technological and artistic education, in fact, is based on students’ experimentation in a laboratory, where theoretical models are confirmed, a practical, pragmatic, empirical orientation is provided, creativity and teamwork are stimulated.
Therefore, the project focuses on the co-development of a Learning Programme, as a didactic framework for training trainers for the development of digital, methodological, design and communicative-relational competences, necessary to design, deliver and evaluate STEM+A students’ learning processes conceived, conducted and implemented in virtual laboratories based on doing, communicating and relating.

In particular, the project aims to achieve the following general objectives:

• encourage a change in the mindset of university teachers to evolve into the role of the Adaptive Teacher;
• stimulate concrete changes in university pedagogical practices;
• promote a methodological, technological and didactic alignment of a pool of teachers;
• experimenting the methodologies acquired.
