About the project

Author: PRIMAS-team

PRIMAS aims to effect change across Europe in the teaching and learning of mathematics and science by supporting teachers to develop inquiry-based learning pedagogies so that, in turn, pupils gain first-hand experience of scientific inquiry. Ultimately, our objective is that a greater number of pupils will have a more positive disposition towards the further study of these subjects and the desire to be employed in related fields.

PRIMAS supports teachers in integrating and applying inquiry-based learning pedagogies in their mathematics and science classrooms. During the project’s lifetime (2010-2013), various resources and support measures will be developed and made available to teachers, parents and pupils. Among these are:

  • Teaching materials;
  • Professional development courses for teachers;
  • Support for teachers;
  • Support for professional development facilitators;
  • Informational meetings for pupils and parents

Furthermore, PRIMAS works in close cooperation with school authorities and other key institutions in national education systems throughout the partnership. This helps to ensure the best possible conditions for the integration and application of inquiry-based learning in classrooms.
