Active, Attractive And Interactive eU Mathematics
Start date: Sep 1, 2015,
End date: Aug 31, 2017
PROJECT
FINISHED
Designing the project, the partners have focused their efforts in meeting some EC priorities and requirements, as if: fostering innovative approaches to teaching in technology-rich environment with particular focus on mathematics; supporting development and availability of open educational resources; increasing the quality in learning through digital integration; promoting best practices; benefiting from training and learning activities at European level.
By using effective modern teaching methods, adapted to our students’ abilities and needs, and ICT-based educational tools and content, we aim to develop and implement in the nine partner schools stimulating teaching and learning mathematics through collaboration, cooperation and exchange of good practices during the life-cycle of our partnership (September 2015-August 2017).
The project objectives are to:
- Motivate teachers to share practice and enable them to become confident and competent to create a collaborative, interactive classroom experience for their students;
- Enable staff to engage in trans-European professional development activities, experience other education systems at work and exchange ideas of good practice;
- Encourage continued teachers` professional development;
- Maintain students` efforts to find relationships between mathematics and their interests and abilities, to see the practical use of mathematics;
- Promote virtual and blended mobility and other innovative communication methods and give students an opportunity to interact with people across different social, cultural and national boundaries;
- Develop key competences and encourage students to take the ownership of their own learning;
- Build a partnership that supports learning and designs high-quality products to respond to partner schools` needs;
- Disseminate the project results and outcomes to many different interested parties.
Approximately 70 school staff members and 590 13-19 years old students will be involved in the project activities.
As outputs of the project`s implementation, the partners plan to produce and achieve a significant set of tangible products and intangible results: intellectual outputs; events and event-related materials; material production out of events; project strategic documentation; reports, summaries and minutes; experience gained by individuals from mobility, exchange, training; project website; project`s web presence; project`s TwinSpace; managerial lessons learned; exchange of ideas and good practice at European level; increased skills and knowledge of the participants; successful European cooperation; recommendations, which could affect policy making and decision taking at school/local/regional level; records and visuals; promotional and informational materials and products; students` extra-curricular work`s results.
Methodology to reach our goals and objectives:
1) Adaptation of existing materials; 2) Creation of new ones;3) Setting up of the e-learning platform; 4) Continuous cooperation-import of new content into the platform; 5) Quality check of the content and evaluation-feedbacks from the target groups; 6) Import of new content into the platform; 7) Extension and adaptation to full-scale potential of the platform; 8) Continuous evaluation of project activities and results; 9) Experimental use in all partner schools; 10) Evaluation, implementation, feedbacks from stakeholders; 11) Continuous dissemination of the results and outputs;12) Continuous exchange of good practices among partners and stakeholders;13) Final reporting and evaluation.
Activities carried out within the partnership: promotional and kick-off activities; transnational meetings; virtual and blended mobilities; set-up, maintenance and monthly updates of the project`s website and TwinSpace; monitoring and evaluation; teachers` and students` activities at local level; school events, celebrations, festivals; dissemination activities, including final conference; short-term joint staff training; short-term exchanges of groups of pupils.
The e-learning platform and the innovative teaching and learning methods will set a benchmark of mathematical knowledge and competences of the students and make learning and teaching mathematics much more interesting, motivating and efficient. It will also give an opportunity to the pupils to learn by themselves.
A positive impact on teachers, schools, students, educational institutions outside of the partnership, local communities and authorities is foreseen.
The partners have agreed on developing the results in such a way that they can be adapted for use by others. All intellectual outputs will be available online for everyone and for free use of anyone interested in them. They will be presented at internal and external events related to the pedagogical concepts of the project and ICT-based methodologies.
The partners foresee cooperation perspectives beyond the project duration.
