Work Package Leaders: Newcastle University, United Kingdom (UNEW)
Objectives
Produce guidelines for the design and implementation of sustainable, appropriate and innovative socio-technical approaches to the raising of achievement in mathematics, science and technology education.
Description of Work
This work package will build on the results provided by the research activities conducted in the previous phases of the project. It will focus on identifying the conditions and requirements for promoting sustainable, appropriate and innovative socio-technical approaches to the raising of achievement in mathematics, science and technology education.
This work package will also draw lessons and develop scenarios and policy options to support the relevant policy-making process in the identification and execution of appropriate educational interventions in raising achievement in mathematics, science and technology education. Given the scope of our case studies, we expect that these recommendations would be applicable to other socio-cultural and economic contexts not just in the EU and South Africa but also across the developing world.
Lastly, based on the experiences gained through the research activities, this work package will identify needs and opportunities for further research. This WP will be led by UNEW with active input from all other partners.
