Distribution of visiting school groups by country(data from 01/09/13 – 01/03/14)

How will it be used?

To be used by pupils and teachers who come to CERN for more than half a dayBy the end of 2014: launch Website + application form + e-learning environmentSchool groups who want to discover the S’Cool LAB have to prepare themselves via our e-learning environment and have to take part in the impact research in physics educationOrganisation of activities:

success factors

(

Pawek

2009)

general factor: climate / quality of material / mentoring by tutors

contextual factors: link to the

everyday’s

life / authenticity

other important factor:

curricular links, in-school embedding
