Editor's Notes
The evaluation consisted of 4 questionnaires for students and 4 for teachers: specific/general, pre/post General questionnaires are always the same per student/ teacher Specific questionnaires are the same for the teachers, but different for each GP for the students (created by the teachers) Designed with the help of the teachers T imeline: February – May General QU: at the very beginning, before any implementation – and post – at the very end after all implementations Specific QU: before and after each implementation Minimum number of forms expected

Number of teachers Number of students: slightly more boys than girls, numbers in the post decreased --| normal drop outs, sicknesses, and disqualification of SLO cstudents.
16 diff edu systems from 15 countries
What we can see here is that the students are more or less equally interested in all the subjects. This proofs that this evaluation has been carried out with kids who are not biased (for example with kids who are specially interested in Science)
16 diff edu systems from 15 countries
24 teachers initially, but finally 41 participated Already use inquiry based learning as they use hands on...important especially for science teaching

We wanted to know the time the students and teachers spend in front of the computer per day... As expected students use comp more than teachers T: most T use it between 1-2 h but tendency to use it less down to less than 30 min Shows that teachers are used to using computers, but inquiry based doesn’t mean ICT S: Students use the computer slightly more than the teachers: over 60% use it more than 2 hours per day
Diff between different countries...general comparison within countries not onlz general
Similarity can be notices correlation between the attitude and interest a teacher shows and the attitudeand interest of a studnet We can see the influence of teachers in students
Reasons for such a low success: The time between when the students filled in the pre and the post questionnaire was to short effect on their motivation will only be visible after a certain period of time Teachers who implemented the GP were not that familiar with it yet (as it was not their GP) and therefore if they do it more often the quality and effect might also increase?!
