Kindergarten teachers and elementary school teachers

Mathematics and programming

Vitenparken offers teacher training courses in mathematics/programming for preschool teachers and for teachers who teach in primary school (grades 1-4).

Innenfor dette lærerkurstilbudet benytter vi oss av Bee-bot. Denne roboten kan benyttes på flere måter, og er et godt utgangspunkt for å bygge grunnleggende forståelse innen matematikk, 

men også som en introduksjon til enkel programmering med planlegging, sortering, telling og økt romforståelse. Via opplæring i bruk kan man tilrettelegge for god dialog og begrepsforståelse.

Vitenparken also rents out sets of 6 Bee-bots with a charging station, and accompanying tips for tasks, challenges and games that can be used in kindergarten or at school to those who wish.

Course duration is: 3.5 hours

The curiosity method in elementary school

The Science Park's educators are also approved by the Research Council's own initiative, Nysgjerrigper, and can hold courses in the Nysgjerrigper method. The Science Park's educators are familiar with the project through several years of experience from jury participation and other collaborations with Nysgjerrigper.

Through this course, teachers will receive tips, advice and ideas on how to facilitate good projects where students carry out their own research project.

Vitenparken will be able to distribute useful material that can be used in schools and in participation in the Curious Per Contest, in addition to being able to guide teachers who want to follow the Curious Per method and assist students in participating in the competition.

Varighet på kurs er: 4 timer
Passer for: Lærere i barneskolen

Programming in primary and secondary schools 

The science centers have recently been appointed as an important resource in assisting schools in raising their competence in programming. Vitenparken offers courses where several different programming languages ​​can be used. In particular, we see that the ARM-based system – BBC micro:bit (a microcontroller) is a fun and engaging intro to the world of computer science and programming. It is easy to use in school, and can also be used well for advanced students and teachers.

Here, registered teachers also have the opportunity to purchase/order a set of 10 microcontrollers that can be taken back to school for further work.

Varighet på kurs er: ca 4 timer
Passer for: Lærere på barne- og ungdomsskolen
Pris: Kr. 800 pr. pers // Klassesett på 10 mikro:bit kontroller: kr. 3000,-

NB: For gjennomføring av kurs må det være minst 10 påmelde personer totalt.

Vitenparken tilbyr kurs for pedagoger og lærere innen naturfag, matematikk, bærekraft og teknologi. Kursene er laget for å gi faglig påfyll og inspirasjon, med utgangspunkt i den nye rammeplanen for barnehager og gjeldende læreplaner for skolen.
