Integrated Science Education in Primary Schools in Rome: the Research Project of the ‘University‐School’ Group

Research and Research Utilisation in Chemical Education

“…One can point to similar developments in other countries. In Italy, for example, some very successful university-school partnership projects were initiated in the late 1970s and early 1980s (see, e.g., Arcà and Vicentine-Missoni, 1979). Although these aimed by and large at bringing about a modernisation of teaching schemes and approaches in Italian schools and not at the conduct of education research per se, they can nevertheless be referred to as interesting experiments in bringing teachers and academics together in efforts to improve science education.…”
