摘要:

科学教育是一个对欧洲具有长期影响的关键问题,因为STEM领域,包括(自然)科学,技术,工程和数学的入学率低,将导致研究和开发的劳动力问题。为了应对这一挑战,欧盟资助的研究项目SciChallenge(project.scichallenge.eu)旨在找到一种新的方法,让年轻人对STEM更感兴趣。为此,该项目开发并实施了一项基于社交媒体的STEM青年竞赛,旨在提高科学教育和职业对青年的吸引力。在前两部分中,文章对问题进行了反思,介绍了竞赛方案,并重点介绍了竞赛准备的主要步骤。论文的第三部分介绍了作为挑战赛核心的数字竞赛平台(www.scichallenge.eu)的思想、设计和实现。本文件第四部分将提供竞赛试点的最新情况。它将提供一份关于该联营体采用这一新方法所取得的经验以及联营体所面临的主要障碍的摘要。本文最后将初步思考这样一种方法是否有助于提高年轻人对STEM教育和职业的兴趣。

英文摘要:

Science education is a crucial issue with long-term impacts for Europe as the low enrolment rates in the STEM-fields, including (natural) science, technology, engineering and mathematics, will lead to a workforce problem in research and development. In order to address this challenge, the EU-funded research project SciChallenge (project.scichallenge.eu) aims to find a new way for getting young people more interested in STEM. For this purpose, the project developed and implemented a social-media-based STEM-contest for young people, which aims at increasing the attractiveness of science education and careers among young people. In the first two parts, the paper reflects on the problem, introduces the project and highlights the main steps of the preparation of the contest. The third section of the paper presents the idea, design and implementation of the digital contest platform (www.scichallenge.eu), which serves as the core of the challenge. The fourth part of the paper will provide a status update on the contest pilot. It will provide a summary of the experiences that the consortium made with this novel approach as well as the main obstacles that the consortium was facing. The paper will conclude with a preliminary reflection on the question if such an approach can help to increase the interest of young people in STEM-education and careers.
