SCIREARLY – POLICIES AND PRACTICES BASED ON SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH FOR REDUCING UNDERACHIEVEMENT AND EARLY SCHOOL LEAVING IN EUROPE

Scirearly aims to determine successful policy approaches and practices based on scientific research to reduce underachievement in basic skills, including digital skills, while fostering psycho-emotional aspects and well-being, thus contributing to reducing early school leaving in Europe.

Grant Agreement Number: 101061288

Funded by: HORIZON EUROPE      Duration: 01/11/2022 – 31/10/2025


Challenge

Reducing underachievement in basic skills and Early School Leaving (ESL) rates is at the core of the strategic and political priorities for the European Commission. This has become even more critical in a post-pandemic era where students coming from lower socioeconomic status, refugees, migrants, Roma, etc. are not reaching the competencies to thrive in life.

Innovation

SCIREARLY aims to impact the quality standards of ECEC by scaling up successful policies and practices, based on scientific research, that improve learning outcomes for students and reduce early school leaving in Europe.

Action

A scientific academic guidance recommendations aims to enhance academic and science aspirations in vulnerable students. The document is based on mixed focus groups where families, students, teachers, tutors and counsellor make recommendations for school guidance and tutorial actions.

This activity aims at studying high-quality ECEC in Europe to, ultimately, maximize its positive influence in later educational stages. In order to do so, it will systematize indicators of high quality ECEC based on the analysis of programmes that have demonstrated their effectiveness. A European-scale survey based on quality indicators will be applied to know the level of quality of European ECEC centres.

A Research Brief provides a framework with the overarching characteristics, foundations and facilitators of successful learning environments. It includes evidence-informed quality indicators of successful learning environments and child education in educational settings.

The toolkit supports teachers and school leaders to design and implement learning environments in their own contexts to improve students’ outcomes in basic skills, reduce underachievement and foster socio-emotional development.

The main purpose of this activity is to replicate and assess the effects of learning environments in reducing underachievement (improving students’ outcomes in basic and digital skills) and in fostering psycho-emotional wellbeing and inclusion. The main tasks include: 1) a Quasi-experimental study design, with 16 educational settings, involving all key actors in compulsory education, 2) training process on “successful learning environments” to the staff members of each educational context, 3) policy recommendations addressed to European policy stakeholders with the purpose of providing a practical guideline that will scale up the effective practices to wider educational settings.

The Impact Platform provides practitioners, communities, policy makers and civil society with tools and resources to ensure all children thrive in life. Specifically, it includes resources to develop and achieve successful polices, practices and life paths.
