Abstract(s)

In recent years, there has been an unprecedented increase in distance education, highlighting the need for didactically sound concepts suitable for such learning contexts. Distance learning revealed a dramatic lack of hands-on training, especially in science and engineering subjects, to promote practical skills in these disciplines. In a context where schools face fundamental IT problems, the tech- nical approaches to collaboration currently being explored represent a distant future vision for engineering and science education. Therefore, simpler approaches are needed that connect to teachers’ prior knowledge and experience. The Hands-on-Remote project (Erasmus+ ) intends to provide self-directed hands-on work for students in remote situations and to decrease feelings of isolation among students. Each European partner developed a teaching module involving hands-on work with real physical objects, even if working at distant places. The three modules combine strategies to embed the physical hands-on experiments, e.g., using elements of learning in virtual environments and/or mobile learning. All modules are quality-tested, low-cost open learning resources based on results from didactic research as well as on experiences made during the pandemic. The paper presents preliminary evaluation results of the implementation process.

Description

The Hands-on Remote project was funded in the Erasmus+ KA226 - Partnerships for Digital Education Readiness program (2020-1-DE02-KA226-VET-008295).
