Description
The free certification "Houses Where Children Research" by the Stiftung Kinder forschen is aimed at educational institutions nationwide and honors daycares, after-school care centers, and primary schools that have firmly integrated research, discovery, and sustainable action into their daily routines. Interested institutions can complete the free online questionnaire at any time and apply for both initial and follow-up certification. The award and recognition consist of a scientifically based evaluation, which is made visible in the form of a plaque for the building’s exterior, highlighting the quality of the educational practice. Results from the digital questionnaire are incorporated into practical feedback that provides concrete impulses for further development.
Participants benefit from a continuous quality process that offers new ideas and examples from over 6,500 certified institutions. A prerequisite for the award is that collaborative research is an integral part of everyday pedagogy and that the entire team regularly attends training sessions. The certificate is valid for two years, after which follow-up certification can be applied for to ensure ongoing progress and to externally document the commitment. This ongoing support helps to firmly establish and strengthen educational and developmental goals in STEM as well as in education for sustainable development in the long term.
