HOW TO DEFEAT YOUR DRAGON? TEACHER TRAINING AND FURTHER EDUCATION IN STEM EDUCATION USING THE ONLINE SERIOUS GAME DEVELOPED IN THE DISCO+ INTERNATIONAL PROJECT

Summary/Abstract: The DISCO+ (Dropout and Inclusion at SChOol) international project aimed to strengthen the inclusive approach in STEM subject teaching and prevent school dropout in these subject areas. Through the cooperation of partner institutions, an online 'serious game' applicable in teacher training and further education was developed to achieve the above goal. The game provides a concrete tool for teachers to improve their own practice, develop critical thinking, and offers a rich framework for teacher training and further education. The game may also be suitable for modelling and presenting classroom practices and may positively shape teacher attitudes. In developing the game, we applied lesson planning and research in transnational groups. Partner institutions identified commonalities in their own STEM education (transcultural approach) and variables specific only to them (metacultural approach). Researchers, educators, and students of partner institutions tested the game. User experience was assessed through questionnaires and focus group interviews. A guide and recommendation were also prepared for the game, providing more details on serious games, their advantages, and the theoretical background behind them. In its final, developed state, the game will be freely available and can be used either for self-education or as part of school or university (continuing) training
