Objectives
The establishment of a baseline of data on the approaches to low achievers in mathematics and science across the EU and South Africa.
Description of Work
The work package leader will coordinate the collection of data about the approach to low achievers in the participating partners. In addition the work package leader and/or partners will carry out a wider review of approaches across the EU outside the participating partners.
The work package leader will work with a partner or partners to identify the range of tools and technology available to support teaching and assessment in mathematics and science.
5.1 Collection of comparative data on the landscape for low achievers in mathematics and science in the partner countries including South Africa.
5.1.1 Identification of ‘low achievers’
5.1.2 Typical trajectory
5.1.3 Typical outcomes (attainment, future path)
5.2 EU wide survey of systemic practices in respect of low achievers in mathematics and science
5.3 Research on use of tools and technology to support teaching and assessment
Description of Deliverables
D2.1 Data Report: Report on comparative data on the landscape for low achievers in mathematics and science in the partner countries
D2.2 Survey: Survey of EU systemic practices in respect of low achievers in mathematics and science
D2.3 Technology report: Report on the use of tools and technology to support teaching and assessment
