Kemijski projekt (“študij primera”): Kisline in baze drugače je eden izmed sodelovalnih projektov uporabe IKT v izobraževanju med učitelji in učenci iz Nizozemske in Slovenije. Glavni cilj projekta je bil nadgraditi ali razviti nekatere IKT didaktične pristope za učenje in poučevanje ter sodelovanje pri pouku kemije za naslednji  skupini učencev:

• slovenski učenci – 13-14 let (9. razred osnovne šole)
• nizozemski učenci – 15-16 let (4.l. VMBO-TL).  

Naša prva naloga je bila določiti in najti skupne učne cilje in pričakovane dosežke za vsebinski sklop Kisline in baze, nato smo načrtovali in izpeljali učno uro v kateri so učenci iz Nizozemske in Slovenije sodelovali preko Skyp-a. Pri tem smo uporabili dva različna pristopa: v enem je slovenska učiteljica pripravila predstavitev “Kako nastane oksonijev ion”, ki so jo slovenski učenci predstavili nizozemskim, v drugem primeru pa so nizozemski učenci sami pripravil različne predstavitve na temo »pH lestvica« in jo po Skyp-u poskušali predstaviti slovenskim učencem.

Za potrebe projekta smo pripravili spletno učilnico v Moodlu: www.o-sl-mesto.kr.edus.si/moodle/course/view.php . Po izvedbi učne ure smo projekt evalvirali na tri načine: z izvedbo intervjujev z učenci, tudi z uporabo programa Wallwisher (http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/slnlskype), z vprašalnikom za učence in reševanjem preizkusa znanja, ki so ga pripravili slovenski učenci (oboje v spletni učilnici).
V naši predstavitvi bomo, ob opisu projekta, povzeli vse prednosti in pomanjkljivosti njegove izvedbe. Upamo, da bodo naše ugotovitve uporabne in prenosljive  tudi za druge šole ter predstavljale vzpodbudo za večkratno sodelovanje dveh različnih skupin učencev (bodisi v isti ali različnih šolah, v isti ali različnih državah). Izpeljan projekt je lahko uporaben kot model drugačnega IKT didaktičnega pristopa k vsebinskemu sklopu Kisline in baze (kemija), na procesni ravni pa predstavlja primer uspešnega sodelovanja med učitelji in učenci dveh različnih držav.

Abstract

The Chemistry project (“case study”): Acids and bases differently was one of the collaborative projects with the use of ICT in education between the teachers and students from Netherlands and Slovenia. The main goal was to upgrade or develop some ICT oriented - didactic approaches to teaching, learning and collaboration within chemistry in the following groups of students:

• Slovenian students – age group 13-14 (grade 9 compulsory (basic) education)
• Dutch students - age group 15-16 (4. l. of VMBO – TL)

Our first task was to determine the learning goals and learning outcomes on the topic Acids and bases (cross-section of both countries), next we planned activities and carried out a lesson with students for students of both countries via Skype. We used two different approaches. The Slovenian teacher prepared a lesson (presentation) about “How is oxonium ion formed” and her students delivered the lesson to their fellow Dutch students, on other side Dutch students themselves prepared a lesson on “pH scale” and tried to present it to the Slovenian students via Skype.

For the purpose of the described project an e-classroom (VLE Moodle) was created: www.o-sl-mesto.kr.edus.si/moodle/course/view.php .
At the end we evaluated project in three ways: by carrying our interviews among students also using a Wallwisher programme www.wallwisher.com/wall/slnlskype, by answering a questionnaire and accomplishing a “knowledge” test prepared by Slovenian students (both in e-classroom).
Our presentation will, along with description of the project, summarize advantages and disadvantages of it. We hope that outcomes of our project could be transferred to other schools in a similar or upgraded way and would inspire collaborative work of two different groups of students (no matter if within the same school, between the schools in the same or different countries). On the product level the project can be used as a model of (different) ICT- didactic approach to the topic Acids and bases (for Chemistry lessons) and on the process level it presents an example of efficient collaboration between teachers and students from different countries.
