Abstract:
Systematic science education within the territory of the Czech Republic is approximately 250 years old. During this time there were many different educational models that reflected the needs of society, reacted to technical development and adapted to current didactic trends. We are currently entering the period when it is difficult to combine demands of a large volume of needed information and knowledge with the time allocated for science subjects in the educational process. One of the possible solutions is to look for potential in combining the formal and informal education via appropriate cooperation between schools and institutions of informal education. This talk includes examples of activities connecting both levels of education which can be rather simply implemented into the educational process.

Key words: science education, Kids and Science, LARP game, creative science.

Speaker: Zuzana Vaclavikova, Ostrava University, Department of Mathematics (Faculty of Science), Czech Republic
