The Swiss contribution to the Science Fair tries
to express the following considerations. In
Switzerland, we have succeeded in implementing
the core concerns of PROFILES in various ways (two
of the main goals of PROFILES Switzerland were i)
the development and implementation of modules
that focus on inquiry based learning (IBL), ii) the
enhancement of teachers’ ownership); the ideas
of PROFILES were “injected” into existing projects
or educational programmes. This creates positive
conditions for pursuing the goals of SWiSE even
aft er a project and for guaranteeing PROFILES
sustainability
