This proposed project focuses on developing students’ empirical thinking ability, in particular by strengthening the mathematical and scientific knowledge and trough the stimulus to the acquisition of new methods. This will enable students to make informed choices and know where to go for help and to take other effective actions to improve their and the general economic well-being. To achieve this primary objective, it is necessary to develop teachers' methodological teaching skills, sharing their own best practices and sharing their experience with other EU professionals. Particular attention will be paid to the use of ICT didactical practice. In fact they will be applied not only in effective cooperation with partners, and as an exciting, dynamic tool for the creation the training materials. The innovative aspect of the project will consist in fact in a critical analysis of web resources available in their experimentation with students in individual schools and during the meetings. During the project in preparing presentations, mind-maps, videos, animations students will use a variety of online resources that will serve as methodological materials and as examples of a specific web site use. Teachers will collect web links to create a web resource catalogue, which everyone will be able to use for teaching and learning specific topics (interactive presentations of theory, interactive exercises, games, etc.). During trans-national and short mobility meetings students and teachers will share their experience and assess the methodological materials and results of the project. Theacher and student will write an e-book on a specific topic of study, to demonstrate how technology can be integrated into teaching and how it can help the different learning styles. The e-book, written during and also between the meetings, wil be a tool from collaborative writing. During the meetings time will be also devoted to the knowledge of the culture and habits of the hosting country. Citizenship will be integrated into the project by empowering our students to contribute to the planning, monitoring and evaluation of the project in a democratic manner. All the results got in the different phases of the project will be published in a proper website (eTwinning.net, project webpage, school webpage) to be actively used and shared among all the members. Communication and dialogue are therefore possible all through the project giving it an interactive feature. A project webpage containing all the documents produced during the project will be made at the end of the project. English will be the project language.
Projektā "e(maths+science)" piedalījās 5 sadarbības partneri- skolas no no Latvijas, Itālijas, Horvātijas, Rumānijas un Turcijas. Projekts bija vērsts uz skolēnu empīriskās domāšanas spēju attīstību, īpaši stiprinot matemātiskās un zināšanas fizikā, ķīmijā un bioloģijā, kā arī lai radīt stimulu jaunu metožu apguvei. Tas palīdzēja un palīdzēs skolēniem izdarīt apzinātu izvēli un zināt kurp doties pēc palīdzības, kā arī veikt citus efektīvus pasākumus, lai uzlabotu savu un vispārējo ekonomisko labklājību. Lai sasniegtu šo mērķi tika pilnveidotas skolotāju metodiskās mācīšanas prasmes, daloties ar savām labākajām prasmēm un pieredzi arī ar citiem ES speciālistiem. Īpaša uzmanība tika pievērsta IKT izmantošanai. Tas attiecās ne tikai uz efektīvu sadarbību ar partneriem, bet arī aizraujošu un dinamisku instrumentu izmantošanu, veidojot mācību materiālus. Projekta inovatīvais aspekts bija arī kritiska interneta resursu analīze, eksperimentējot ar tiem savās skolās, kā arī tiekoties ar projekta partneriem. Projekta gaitā veidojot prezentācijas, domu kartes, video un animācijas skolēni izmantoja daudz dažādus interneta resursus, izvērtēja tos un izgatavoja metodiskus materiālus, kurus lietoja mācību vielas apguvei. Skolotāji apkopoja interneta saites, lai izveidotu interneta resursu katalogu, kuru var izmatot jebkurš skolotājs konkrētas mācību un mācīšanās tēmas apguvē (interaktīvas teorijas prezentācijas, interaktīvus uzdevumus, spēles u.c.). Starpvalstu un mobilitāšu laikā, skolēni un skolotāji dalījās pieredzē un izvērtēja, aprobēja metodiskos materiālus un projekta rezultātus. Skolotāji un skolēni veidoja e-grāmatu par konkrētu tēmu, lai demonstrētu, kā tehnoloģijas var tikt integrētas mācīšanas procesā un kā tas var palīdzēt dažādiem mācīšanās stiliem. E-grāmata tika izveidota visiem projekta dalībniekiem vienlaikus strādājot tiešsaistē. Vīzītēs tika veltīts arī laiks, lai iepazītos ar uzņemošās valsts kultūru un paražām. Projektā tika integrēta arī pilsoniskā līdzdalība, iesaistot skolēnus demokrātiskā projekta aktivitāšu plānošanā, uzraudzībā un novērtēšanā. Visi dažādos projekta posmos iegūtie rezultāti tika publicēti mājas lapā (eTwinning.net, projekta mājas lapā), lai visas dalībvalstis tos var aktīvi izmantot un dalīties ar tiem. Tika izveidota projekta mājas lapa, kas sastāv no visiem materiāliem, kas izveidoti projekta gaitā. This project focused on developing students' empirical thinking ability, in particular strengthening the knowledge in Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology and stimulate them to acquire the new methods. This helped and will help the students to make intentional choices and know where to go for help and to take other effective actions to improve their and the general economic well-being. To achieve this primary objective, teachers' methodological teaching skills were develop, sharing their own best practices and experience with other EU professionals. Particular attention was paid to the use of IC tools. It applied not only to the effective cooperation with partners, but also to the usage of exciting, dynamic tools in creating the training materials. The innovative aspect of the project was the critical analysis of the web resources, experimenting with them in schools as well as during the meetings. During the Project, in preparing presentations, mind-maps, videos, animations, students used a variety of online resources, evaluated them and created a methodological materials, which were used for learning. Teachers collected web links to create a web resource catalogue, which can be used for teaching and learning specific topics (interactive presentations of theory, interactive exercises, games, etc.). During trans-national and short mobility meetings students and teachers shared their experience and assessed, approbated the methodological materials and results of the project. Teacher and student created an e-book on a specific topic of study, to demonstrate how technology can be integrated into teaching and how it can help the different learning styles. The e-book was created by all the Project participants working online.. During the meetings time was also devoted to acquaint with the culture and habits of the hosting country. Citizenship was integrated into the project by involving our students into the planning, monitoring and evaluation of the project activities in a democratic manner. All the results obtained in the different phases of the project were published in a proper website (eTwinning.net, project webpage, school webpage) to be actively used and shared among all the Member States. A project webpage containing all the documents produced during the project was made at the end of the project.
