  1. Biology, health and environmental education for better citizenship - BIOHEAD-CITIZEN - Project objectives Biology, Health and Environmental Education may differ in different countries, even among European countries. Our project aims to analyse such possible differences (and associate them to controlled parameters: gender, social context, religion) and to understand better how Biology, Health and Environmental Education can promote a better citizenship, including their affective and social dimensions. STREP CIT2-CT-2004-506015 It is expected that this understanding may clarify the relevant challenges that the European Education Systems have to face to maximise their efficiency in order to reinforce a knowledge based society.

  2. Biology, health and environmental education for better citizenship - BIOHEAD-CITIZEN - Project composition • 5 EU old member states: • Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, UK • 6 EU new member states: • Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, Poland • 1 EU candidate country: • Romania • 6 third countries, INCO: • Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Mozambique, Senegal STREP CIT2-CT-2004-506015

  4. Biology, health and environmental education for better citizenship - BIOHEAD-CITIZEN - Two main approaches: Analysis of syllabi and textbooks on selected topics of Biology, Health and Environmental Education Teachers’ and trainee teachers’ understanding of scientific knowledge, systems of values and their practical approaches in education STREP CIT2-CT-2004-506015 Questionnaires will be applied to: - Primary school teachers - Biology teachers - 2nd school - Geography teachers (or others involved in EE) - 2nd school Future teachers

  5. Biology, health and environmental education for better citizenship - BIOHEAD-CITIZEN - Expected results Besides fundamental aspects of our research (interactions between scientific knowledge, values, affective and social dimensions in Biology, Health and Environmental Education), other essential potential impacts are expected: • Contribution to didactical changes: For each topic (Biol, health, Env.Ed) • we expect that our critical and comparative analyses will contribute to • promote changes in syllabi, scholar textbooks, and the way of teaching. • The project outcomes will be worked out in order to be submitted as • didactical proposals to local, national and European policy-makers. STREP CIT2-CT-2004-506015 • Contribution to the awareness of different social values: Comparison • among European and INCO countries of our consortium, will make it possible • to identify the relevant challenges that educational systems have to face. • Being aware of these challenges, policy-makers can maximise their • efficiency in order to reinforce a knowledge based society.
