Objectives
On the advice of the independent expert review for the EC that the Consortium involves external experts, who will evaluate whether the proposed project reaches its objectives concerning low achievement in science and mathematics.
Description of work
Evaluation is a constant theme in design study and this is aimed to be a ‘learning project’ where design does not cease with WP1 but is carried through by formative evaluation of the process of the project through reflection and evaluation by the WP leaders and participants.
We have invited a small number of world experts on science education, educational technology, mathematics education and assessment to form an evaluation group who will meet annually to review progress and provide a final report to the project in the 3rd year. The evaluation group will be asked specifically to focus feedback on issues of gender and low attainment.
The evaluation experts will be sub-contracted to participate in this group.
This evaluation group provides the third mechanism of quality control.
Description of deliverables
D9.1 Evaluation report: The evaluation report will be disseminated to the steering group annually
