Comunicació de congrés presentada a: 1st International Technology, Education and Development Conference INTED2007, celebrat a València, del 7 al 9 de març de 2007
dc.description.abstract
Since 2004 the Department of Chemistry of the University of Girona promotes a
series of activities to increase contact with high school students and teachers.
These contacts allow for mutual assessment, provide better knowledge of the
chemistry curriculum of students entering the University, foster improvements
in teaching and innovations within the Bologna European Higher Education
Convergence Process (EHECP), dims the frontier between secondary and
higher education, and approaches University to the high school student.
Examples of activities consist of "The Saturday of Chemistry", oriented
towards the last three years of high school, the "Chemistry Fair", meetings
with high school teachers, class group laboratory sessions at university
facilities, calls for prizes in high school chemical research, "Nano!Reacciona!",
a preuniversity research workshop, and development of website
"LaQuimica.Net".
These initiatives are indeed useful to improve teaching and learning.
Furthermore, they allow to understand better the new role of university
professors and makes innovation within EHECP much easier
