Wat is FEMST?

FEMST is een door Erasmus+ gefinancierd project dat tot doel heeft om diepgaande informatie te verstrekken over de genderkloof die relevant is voor gendergelijkheid in het STEM-veld in de vroege stadia, wanneer de genderbias van docenten de prestaties van leerlingen beïnvloedt

FEMST zal docenten ondersteunen bij het inspireren van vrouwelijke studenten in STEM en inspelen op de behoeften van vrouwen die STEM studeren, om op de lange termijn het aantal uitvallers te verminderen

Het doel van FEMST is om diepgaande informatie en kennis te bieden over de genderkloof in het STEM-veld in Europa, met name in de landen van het consortium (Nederland, Cyprus, Griekenland, Spanje en Portugal), voor hun persoonlijke en/of professionele ontwikkeling, uiteindelijk ten behoeve van de kinderen voor wie zij verantwoordelijk zijn

De prioritaire doelgroepen van het FEMST-project zijn:

· Loopbaanbegeleiders in het hoger secundair onderwijs

·  School teachers/educators

·   Academisch personeel

·   Universitaire wervingsmedewerkers

·  Vrouwelijke leerlingen in het basisonderwijs

·  Vrouwelijke studenten in het hoger onderwijs die een STEM-opleiding volgen

FEMST Projectinformatie

Eindhoven University of Technology

Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) educates students and advances knowledge in science & technology for the benefit of humanity. We integrate education and research to enable our students and scientists to become thought leaders and to design and achieve the unimaginable. In close collaboration with our public and private partners, we translate our basic research into meaningful solutions.
Eindhoven School of Education (ESoE) is a department of the Faculty of Applied Physics and Science Education. ESoE is the TU/e expertise center in the field of professional development of teachers in the science and engineering domain. ESoE is active in the following three domains:
Education
ESoE offers a master’s program in Science Education and Communication, which includes teacher education to pre-university education in mathematics, physics, chemistry, research and design or computer science. After graduating, students are allowed to teach in upper secondary education.
The ESoE offers both first and second degree teacher qualification programs. The first degree teacher qualification program allows you to teach in upper secondary education HAVO (general) and VWO (academic), while the second degree teacher qualification program allows you to teach HAVO and VWO as well as VMBO-T (vocational) classes in year one till three of secondary education. The ESoE provides teacher education at TU Eindhoven and its vision of the kind of teachers it educates is related to the vision of a university of technology.
In addition, the Eindhoven School of Education actively contributes to the education of the Departments at the TU/e by initiating and evaluating educational innovations.
Research
ESoE aims to advance education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in response to new societal challenges. To contribute to this aim, we conduct scientific research on education and professional development of teachers and on the design and evaluation of educational innovations. In a recent update of our research program, the successful research strand on preparing and supporting teachers for innovative STEM learning and teaching in secondary education has been continued. This research has been extended with two new developments.
First, teachers in higher education have been included as a focus of our research. Innovations in higher STEM education like challenge-based learning raise many questions about the new expertise teachers need and how they can develop this expertise.
Second, questions about the optimal pedagogy of innovative STEM teaching and learning in secondary and higher education have been included. Answering these questions requires systematic design and evaluation research to provide evidence for successful practices. In these endeavors, research and development go hand in hand, aligned with ESoE’s mission to contribute to both scholarly advancements as well as to improvements of educational practice.
Innovation
Innovation of engineering education is a priority for ESoE. The ESoE is currently renewing its curriculum. Furthermore, ESoE is hosting the 4TU.Center of Engineering Education (CEE) at Eindhoven. The CEE is empowering innovation of engineering education TU/e wide by funding projects, consulting and organizing events to inspire educators. The CEE has an active collaboration at the national level with the other three Dutch technical universities, and at the international level with all CDIO universities of technology.
