The Guidelines for teaching and learning science in a creative way are the final outcome of the EU STENCIL Project (http://www.stencil-science.eu/index.php). The Guidelines wants to offer to educational authorities and policy makers from all over Europe an opportunity for thinking about innovation on science education, taking into account the everyday teachers experiences and the inputs from science education research in Europe. The Guidelines include the 3 parts: 1. Science education in the European context that outlines a picture of science education issues at EU level and from an historical point of view; 2. Analysis of the STENCIL catalogue and stakeholders questionnaires, which presents a discussion of the data collected and analyzed within STENCIL, and identifies critical problems and gaps. 3. Conclusion and Recommendations that presents the results of the reflection on the data analyzed and gives recommendations to policy makers for future actions and future projects.
