Selected projects

7.FP project SAILS (Strategies for Assessment of Inquiry Learning in Science), No: 2890085 (2012-15), partner institution. The SAILS project has demonstrated how inquiry approaches can be used for teaching a range of scientific topics, and has helped science teachers become confident and competent in the assessment of their students’ learning through inquiry. More than 2500 science teachers in 12 countries have participated in SAILS teacher education programmes. These teachers have strengthened their inquiry pedagogy and assessment practices by developing their understanding of the role of assessment.. http://www.sails-project.eu/

Slovak Research and Development Agency: APVV-0715-12 Research on the efficiency of innovative teaching methods in mathematics, physics and informatics education (2013-16) member of research team. The project was aimed at the implementation of inquiry-based education in mathematics, informatics and physics and research on the efficiency of the developed model of implementation and its effect on students´ inquiry skills. The research results show positive effect of the consistent implementation of inquiry activities on inquiry skills development at upper secondary schools. https://ufv.science.upjs.sk/_projekty/vemiv/

Scientific grant agency VEGA - 1/0265/17 2017-2020 Formative assessment in science, mathematics and informatics education. Member of research team. The project was aimed at monitoring the current situation in the use of formative assessment in education in Slovakia and elaboration of theoretical background and design of formative assessment strategies and tools for science, mathematics and informatics education, The research aimed at identifying the impact of their implementation on students´ learning has shown positive effect on inquiry skills development.

Cultural and educational agency KEGA - 004UPJŠ-4/2020 2020 - 2022 Creation, Implementation, and Verification of the Effectiveness of Digital Library with the Formative Assessment Tools for the Natural Sciences, Mathematics and Informatics at the Elementary School, member of research team. The project is aimed at the design, implementation and verification of the effectiveness of formative assessment tools and development of digital library with the designed formative assessment tools for selected topics of science, mathematics and informatics education at lower secondary school. The formative assessment tools are developed in order to support conceptual understanding, inquiry skills development and motivation towards science.

Cultural and educational agency KEGA - 012UPJŠ-4/2021 Development of a digital library of interdisciplinary STEAM projects and its implementation in informatics, mathematics and science education at upper secondary schools. The project is focused on the creation of a digital library of interdisciplinary STEAM projects (Science Technology Engineering Art Mathematics), its implementation in upper secondary school teaching of informatics, mathematics, science and art. Part of the project is the lifelong education of upper secondary school teachers in the field of professional and pedagogical skills. Teachers of cooperating upper secondary schools will actively participate in the design, implementation and verification of a digital library of interdisciplinary STEAM projects in school practice and in the creation of methodological support for them.
