is a Working Environment with Social, Personal and Open Technologies for Inquiry Based Learning.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Its aim is to propagate scientific inquiry as the approach for science learning and teaching in combination with today’s curricula and teaching practices. <\/span><\/p>\n

weSPOT will create a Working Environment with Social, Personal and Open Technologies that supports users (from 12 to 25) to develop their inquiry based learning skills by means of:<\/span><\/p>\n

(i) a European reference model for inquiry skills and inquiry workflows,<\/span><\/p>\n

(ii) a diagnostic instrument for measuring inquiry skills,<\/span><\/p>\n

(iii) smart support tools for orchestrating inquiry workflows including mobile apps, learning analytics support, and social collaboration on scientific inquiry,<\/span><\/p>\n

(iv) social media integration and viral marketing of scientific inquiry linked to school legacy systems and an open badge system. <\/span><\/p>\n

In inquiry-based learning co-learners take the role of explorers and scientists and are motivated by their personal curiosity, guided by self-reflection, and develop knowledge personal and collaborative sense-making and reasoning.<\/span><\/p>\n

weSPOT will work on a meta-inquiry level in that it will:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. define a reference model for inquiry-based learning skills,<\/span><\/p>\n

2. create a diagnostic instrument for measuring inquiry skills, and<\/span><\/p>\n

3. implement a working environment that allows the easy linking of inquiry activities with school curricula and legacy systems.<\/span><\/p>\n
