  1. Experiences on CERN research discoveries in high schools Pisa 12.10.2002 Riitta.Rinta-Filppula@cern.ch Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP) /CERN http://cern.ch/webuniversity

  2. Contents • Background, Web University, • One example how international research results have • been integrated in learning. • CERN co-operation school network in Finland supported by NBE (National Board of Education), • Aims, • Flexible High School Student Programme organised by HIP in collaboration with NBE, • learning process at school <--> CERN, • example, • Flexible Physics Teacher Programme organised by HIP in collaboration with NBE and Maol (Science Teacher Assosiation). • Teacher in-service training of modern physics in Finland.

  3. CERN co-operation school network in Finlandstarted 2002 • AIMS • Integrates CERN discoveries into the physics curricula in high schools by adopting local requirements. • Supports co-operation • between different subjects in a school • between high schools, • between high schools and both local universities and CERN. • Encourages high school students and teachers to do outreach about CERN physics supported by local physicists and CERN researchers. • Promotes physics, motivates and attracts students and general public about modern physics (TV programmes, outreach material on the server of YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company)).

  4. Flexible High School Student (HSS) Programme • Integrated in the Modern Physics course or its advanced level, • 8 student groups with a basic or advanced level, teachers as trainers. • Planning conference for teachers of the co-operation network, • E-learning material by WU and student thesis, • 3 day intensive learning at CERN, • Publishing of student thesis and school press conferences, • 80 students with teachers, 5 groups, from 9 schools in the term 2000-1, • 138 students with 28 teachers, 8 groups, from17 schools in the term 2001-2. • 190 students with 31 teachers, 9 groups, from 23 schools in the term 2002-3.

  5. Flexible learning at school • Modern physics studies (basic or advanced level). • Net-based e-learning and group works of students at school tutored by physics and other teachers, • Net-based e-learning and support for teachers by a learning expert. • Student Group works publishing on CERN research areas • Drafts before the visit, • Final reports publishing after the visit, • 1-3 best reports to the WU homepage, • High School Physics Research Awards, • Participation in a science competition in Finland. • Lectures about CERN from the local university • Web videoconferences where students discuss results of their own research studies with researchers at CERN.

  6. International Learning in Geneva • Intensive 3 day face to face learning at CERN • Science discussions between researchers and students, • Students continue the group works. • Basic and advanced level, • Own special programme for each group, • Evaluation and feedback from the programme, • Publishing reports and experiences. • Experiences on living in Geneva • Guided visits in the United Nations and Red Cross, • Mission of Finland, • Visits in enterprises, on mountains etc. • Experiences in English and French.

  7. Example, Pyhäjoki in co-operation with Raahe • Intensive physics learning in own high school in co-operation with the other school in the neighboring town • Physics teachers taught Modern Physics in the both schools in co-operation with the following teachers: native language, foreign languages, mathematics and IT. • Students studied net-based e-learning material and prepared for science discussion. • HIP organised the student programme for 16 students at CERN with physicists and physics teachers. • Students continued their group works together after learning at CERN and published them.

  8. Science discussion, 2002

  9. Results (Pyhäjoki, Raahe) • Student articles in newspapers, lectures at schools etc. • 19 literary essays about famous international physicists (both in oral and written from selected books), • 8 articles about CERN physics in 3 newspapers after interviewing researchers at CERN (group work, 2 students from both schools in a group), • 5 oral student lectures to other students (group work). The lectures were digital recorded by the teachers. • Student presentations will also be published as a CD-ROM in next autumn as a part of an IT course. • Articles in foreign languages will be published in the autumn.

  10. Flexible Phycis Teacher Programme (started 2001) • 2 groups with 22 teachers from 19 schools in the term 2001-2 • 2 groups, 24.2 - 28.2.2003 and 2.6 - 6.6.2003 • learning and working in the network supported by teacher net of WU. • One week at CERN • group works of teaching material

  11. Teacher in-service-training of modern physics in Finland • One week in-service-training organised by universities will continue. • 3 week flexible in-servic-training organised by universities in collaboration with HIP and the National Board of Education (NBE) will start. • Evaluation of flexible in-service-training …
