Notice Information

Notice Title

National Schools' Observatory Impact Evaluation Tender

Notice Description

The National Schools' Observatory (NSO, www.schoolsobservatory.org) is a web-based resource developed and run by LJMU that uses astronomy to support the teaching of STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in UK and Irish schools. The NSO has recently written a new internal strategy and evaluation framework guided by a set of Generic Learning Outcomes, which address the wider aims of the NSO, primarily influencing attitudes to STEM subjects. This framework was adopted in January 2018 and we therefore wish to commission an in depth, independent, formal evaluation to see how the project currently stacks against these new outcomes and inform ongoing development. The report will have three primary purposes: * To provide evidence of impact, * To provide evidence of the strengths and weakness of the NSO, * To provide a detailed review of current users attitudes towards the project, and its Generic Learning Outcomes, against which developments in the future can be assessed.
