Rädda antibiotikan med kunskap och handling (Save antibiotics with knowledge and action)

Objective(s)
1. Provide high-quality, curriculum-aligned microbiology teaching materials for Swedish upper secondary biology teachers.
2. Support experiential, inquiry-based science education with lab protocols, simulations, and real-world connections (e.g., antibiotic resistance, hygiene, microbial growth).

Identified gaps
1. No structured M&E (Monitoring & Evaluation) framework visible.
2. No cross-national benchmarking or long-term learning impact data.
3. Potential digital accessibility limitations for schools with low tech resources.
Lessons learned
Tailoring content to specific groups (e.g., parents, seniors, teens) may enhance impact.
A central campaign hub or website can improve discoverability and consistency.
Lessons learned
1. High-quality content and inquiry models can support behaviorally relevant science education.
2. Microbiology offers a tangible bridge between curriculum and public health action.
3. There’s room to expand impact measurement and digital interactivity.
Identified biases
Digital Access Bias
Digital Literacy Bias
Evaluation Absence Bias
Inclusivity Bias
Language Bias
Literacy Accessibility Bias
Vulnerable Groups Bias
Identified biases
1. Language barrier: Resources mainly in Swedish—limits reach to international or minority-language schools.
2. Self-selection bias: More engaged or better-equipped teachers likely to use materials.

Identified Weaknesses
Limited accessibility
Limited feedback loop
Limited reach / Single channel
No Measurable Outcomes or Evaluation Plan
No translation to other languages
No visual or interactive content
One-way communication
Identified Weaknesses
1. Evaluation methods are not explicitly defined in public documents; likely teacher-reported feedback or informal classroom assessment.
2. Lack of evaluation methods and indicators (lack of quantitative such as e.g. Number of schools using the materials, Number of teacher training sessions held, Student performance on related curriculum assessments. Additionally lack of qualitative measurements e.g. Teacher satisfaction and usability feedback, Student engagement and motivation in microbiology topics, Observation of increased awareness of AMR (antimicrobial resistance))
Identified Strengths
Use of scientific evidence
Dedicated website or online portal
Easy to locate materials
Identified Strengths
1. Inquiry-driven, encourages hypothesis testing, data interpretation.
2. Activities are classroom-based, often including wet lab and dry lab formats.
3. Scientifically robust and curriculum-aligned.
4. Encourages inquiry, experimentation, and critical thinking.
5. Supported by reputable university-based resource center.
6. Addresses real-world, socially relevant topics (e.g., antibiotic resistance, hygiene).
