Title* / ( MUSECENTURO )Supporting science museums and science centres to support formal and informal science education in schools
Description*
(including budget outline) / Teachers need Scientific centres and museums to show the students to deconstruct complex systems into teaching subjects that can be related to basic scientific laws or theories. Moreover, teachers need support in terms of advice, training, and resources needed from upper scientific levels and need to develop skills in communicating to non-specialists including the younger population. Actions is aimed at reinforcing links between schools, universities research organisations, and industry; at reinforcing the connection between science and its development through research; and at highlighting the relevance of science to cultural and societal development. The Project aims construction of Scientific Museums and centres that should officially included in main primary and high school visiting programs to enhance courses they take. Museums can be Paleontological, humanities, history of Science, Physics Science centre, Chemistry Science centre, Geography and astrology centre, Some local Paleontological objects may be displayed with Scientific explanations and/or Modern DVD or DIVX electronic media can be built and presented at selected technically sufficient audio visual centres within a program to invite schools in the vicinity.

Title* / ( MODERN_TEACHER )Receiving advanced teaching methods for primary and high school teachers
Description*
(including budget outline) / Teacher training higher education Institutes have been closed down 2 decades ago and a new textbook text has been imposed after the coup of 1980. University graduates have been teachers after minimal formation short courses for 8 months who are actually engineers or unemployed persons. The Turkish University Faculty allocation Exam caused the lowest performing high school graduates enrolling to teacher Education faculties as needed in vast numbers (There are 550 000 elementary and high school teachers employed by the government in Turkey now). These people are from rural areas or slum areas around the cities, and their teacher education and training is incomplete and not Science education or modern education methods are not supported by government (Except furnishing all classes with computers) nor by world successful teachers. Laboratories are always locked and textbooks are often distributed 2-3 months later than school semester beginning dates due bureaucracy. Any Developed European groups to send teaching media, perform seminars for Science or Mathematic or Biology or any other Scientific school course shall be organized with government as government accepts Science based copyright free textbooks and DVDs and DIVX media to be distributed to in Turkish language (Except history textbooks) New technology teaching media is of future interest here. We observe all young people are good players at Computer games at internet cafes. Their achievement can be used to teach them Scientific courses, as biology can be an excellent computer game like school course, Chemistry and Physics, mathematics and Science as well. Cases in Law and criminal situations should be thought at high schools. They are taught from the earliest age. Greater emphasis needs to be placed on the development of analytical skills, and on techniques for stimulating intrinsic motivation for learning science. Turkish students are now forced to recite some texts rather than absorbing the context. Context-based learning in which the relevance of science is highlighted and inquiry-based techniques to stimulate the formulation of ideas and their testing through direct experimentation have been shown to be effective in stimulating interest in science but need to be developed and implemented more widely. In a more general context, better links need to be established between the science education research community, curricula developers and practitioners (teachers and educators). Account needs to be taken of the development of key resources, training requirements and the involvement of parents and other relevant actors,

Description of research activity:
Molecular epidemiology
We have focused our research on „Molecular epidemiology of colorectal cancer, prostate cancer and lung cancer
In Austria is a remarkable incline from east to west, with the highest incidence rates of colon cancer in the province Burgenland. In the ongoing project “Molecular epidemiology study of colorectal cancer” more than 3.500 cases and controls were recruited since May 2002 within a large colorectal screening study in Burgenland (“Burgenland gegen Dickdarmkrebs”).
CRC is a multifactorial disease, many factors contribute to its development, including dietary, lifestyle habits and genetic predisposition. Genetics has a key role in predisposition to CRC and its initiation and progression. The role of high penetrance mutations in several genes such as adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) and mismatch repair (MMR) in colorectal cancer pathogenesis is well understood and their detection is used in clinical diagnosis. In contrast, the understanding of low penetrance polymorphisms in DNA repair genes is far less advanced. A number of genetic polymorhisms of genes involved in the CRC will be genotyped from the DNA-bank of the 3 500 cases and controls. Candidates genes for CRC association studies are coding for enzymes involved in the metabolic pathway, in methylation, in DNA repair, and in senescence and immortality.
The final aim of the project “Molecular epidemiology of colorectal cancer” is the development of a polygenic model for CRC, incoporating a set of genetic polymorphism, which allows the identification of individuals with high risk, resulting in better preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. Early diagnosis of CRC, a disease of old age, is important because the prognosis for patients with CRC is heavily dependent on stage at diagnosis: 5-years survival is over 90% for dukes stage A, but only 5% for duke stage D.
