EGU Geosciences Education Field Officers – Assessment of Workshops in Germany

The European Geosciences Union (EGU) Education Committee (EC) launched the Geoscience Education Field Officers (GEFO) programme in 2019, primarily to support geoscience education in Europe. The EGU has provided ongoing support to the programme since that time. Germany was incorporated when the programme was expanded in May 2022.

To evaluate the programme, an online evaluation form is made available to attendees at the end of each workshop. This form is designed to facilitate the collection of data on the characteristics of participants (e.g. the educational establishments they work in, their gender, their role, how many years they have been teaching, their professional position, the level of school they work in, and the subjects they teach) and their perception of the usefulness of the workshop in relation to their teaching practice.

German teachers greatly appreciate the teacher training offered by the German GEFO. The characteristics of the workshops and the results of the evaluation forms will be presented.
