  1. Setting Standards in Education Menelaos Α. Sotiriou International Projects Department Q-Plan S.A. 14 November 2004

  2. European Programs: Company’s Data • CONNECT(FP6-2002-IST-1-507844) • Designing the Laboratory of Tomorrow by using Advanced Technologies to connect formal and informal learning environments • ZEUS(Action 3.3.1, e-Learning, Code EL-72, Ministry of Development) • Satellite Network of Rural Schools • SCHOOL FORESIGHT(FP6-SAS6-CT-2003-508865) • Launching a Visionary Quest for the Intelligent School of Tomorrow on the basis of Relevant State-of-the-art Scientific and Technological Achievements

  3. European Programs: • SHIELD(FP6-SAS6-CT-2003-509029) • Launching an Educational Scientific Journey on Natural Hazards and Disasters - Exploring Today’s Achievements, Future Challenges & Expectations with Respect to Forecast, Prevention and Mitigation • ESA – ARTES 1 • Investigation of advanced satellite application adapted to development needs in insular and mountainous regions Company’s Data • RURAL WINGS(FP6-2003-SPACE-1-516161) • Integrated satellite system for the provision of tele-education applications

  4. European Programs: Company’s Data • SKY WATCH (FP6-2003-Science and Society-7) • Introducing European Youth in the World of Scientific Research through Interactive Utilisation of a Global Network of Robotic Telescopes • D-SPACE (eTEN 2004-1) • A feasibility study of the business case of the on-line use of a science thematic park for educational purposes • LIFE ENVIRONMENT GREEN DRACHMA II

  5. Need for Standardisation in Education The facts: The facts: The facts: Many initiatives are only create results,, but those results are not used from the wider public Technology is here, Educational Methods are here but it seems that only few people take advantage of them Direct actions (as starting point): Direct actions (as starting point): Organisation of Information Programs (like School Foresight)

  6. Need for Standardisation in Education Specific Actions: • Every initiative that is based on ideas and proposals concerning the educational procedure must be realised and accompanied by specific processes and procedures that must be identified and followed. • Every project concerning the implementation of educational applications must be accompanied by an “Implementation Guide” • Recommend the standardization of the methodologies and practices, and even more the evaluation scheme. The availability of a standardization scheme is particularly important, as is the establishing of conditions conducive to change and to adaptation of the ways in which education and training systems are organized.

  7. Need for Standardisation in the implementation Phase • There are standards which could implemented in the educational procedures using especially the technological achievements • Learning Standards List

  8. Scope - Aims Need for the existence of Implementation Guides Creation of a training framework that correspond to the needs of the stakeholders (teachers, students and the community) Identify and present best training practices and methodologies Standardisation of the educational procedure Present a model for the continuous provision of training and support to the stakeholders

  9. Scope - Aims Need for the existence of Implementation Guides Establishment of a continuous procedure for the evaluation of the training framework in order to continuous modify and adapt new procedures or methods for the creation of a user friendly environment Identify and follow the basic principles and standards of an educational program

  10. Scope - Aims Need for the existence of Implementation Guides The Implementation Guide contains all the specification, practices and methods that are needed to implement e-Learning with a proposed way (e.g. Open and Distance Learning via Satellite) and it is separated in three sectors: • training and education specifications (methods and practices) • technological specifications (methods and practices) • specifications for providing the integrated service (methods and practices)

  11. Need for the existence of Implementation Guides Content of an Implementation Guide

  12. Data from Users • IMPLEMENTATION GUIDE • Providing Information for: • Present Situation and trends • Critical operations / procedures and gaps • Recommendations for improvements • Best Methods and Practices Data from Procedures Evaluation / Data Analysis Data from Tutors Evaluation Procedure Need for the existence of Implementation Guides • Questioners • Interviews / video • Discussion

  13. Fields of the Evaluation Need for the existence of Implementation Guides Educational Procedure Educational Content Technology • User Friendly • Efficiency & • Effectiveness • Functional • Reliability • Structure • Plenitude – Cover of Needs • Clarity • Variety of Material • Organisation – Design/Planning • Educational Method • Implementation

  14. Thank You!
