We want to improve work quality of our institutions in developing logical thinking skills in 5-6-year-old children. Increase professional competences of teachers by supporting them with acquiring and improving skills of key competences to consolidate the early years teacher status, the support for searching of innovative teaching methods, determine the development of teacher and organization, as well. Education for 5-6 years old children is an opportunity to create the most optimal conditions for during this period of life, children have the greatest natural tendency to acquire key competences. The child's brain is ready for cognitive development, motoric, linguistic, social, including emotional development. This project will bring together participants from 3 European countries and create a network of cooperation. There is a strong possibility that, it will help to balance educational opportunities and improve children skills in all partner institutions. For the high quality of education we want to improve an organization of the logical thinking process, so as to offer all children the development of key competences at a preparatory level, for further education’s stages, in references to European Framework for teaching, with regard to Member States of the European Union (EU) and the Commission. In order to prepare children for school education, we want to find optimal ways to develop logical thinking skills, including mathematics and entrepreneurship in 5-6-years old children. This is one of the simplest way to implement the European good practices – developed solutions during trainings, by partner countries. In fact, gained methodological materials will enrich the present teacher’s workshop and the work of future teachers in the development of logical thinking in 5-6 years old children. The wide range of play will be the basic activity, taking into account the use of modern technologies and bilingualism in the learning process. The target groups are children and well-prepared teachers who are organizers, animators in the process of wide-ranging children’s development. The project will also enable organisations to develop and strengthen cooperation, ideas exchange and confrontation, practices and methods at international level, where we will combine experience with modernity. The presented good practices will be adopted in a partnership community and will be a part of the strategic development, to become European institutions that are capable of cooperation with countries of different cultures. We assume that every year: 1. 5-6 years old children will easily and pleasantly develop logical skills. 2. children and teachers will cooperate at different levels with the European institutions without linguistic and cultural barriers, consequently, by using technologies such as Face Times-WhatsApp and Skype, they will get in touch with their peers and break the distance barrier among countries, in the way of playing games. 3. personal development of teachers become, including intercultural competences: the cooperation, the openness to other cultures, a tolerance and respect for human knowledge of the host countries in terms of training, communication and interpersonal skills, as well as language and professional competences. 4. dissemination of results will improve the image of teachers and institutions as open to change, finally, in the case of having Europass certificates, the high degree of teacher’s preparation will be confirm. 5. organisations will recommend best practice across European operations by enabling teachers to take part in Job Shadowing training in their future Erasmus+ projects of KA1. 6. our institutions become popular during the recruitment process, which provide workplaces. Experiences in the implementation of the project tasks will allow to obtain answers to the main problem contained in the question: Do knowledge, skills and experience conduce to improve on the work quality of institutions, in terms of logical thinking development in 5-6 years old children. In the process of project, dissemination activities will be complementary to the essential project activities. Communication with target groups will provide valuable feedback in order to the review of created activities. The most intensive phase of activities dissamination will be tasks accomplishment after the completion of the project: -final evaluation; -implementing actions to increase the permanence of results; -development of ideas for further cooperation. In addition, we know that the project will have an impact on: social development and abilities of participants, ability to communicate and resourcefulness, entrepreneurship, creativity, increased children and teachers self-esteem.
The most important thing for us was to improve the quality of work organization in order to develop logical thinking skills of 5-6 year olds.These skills are essential to achieve better educational outcomes and to enable children to start school well. A process should therefore be planned to improve the professional competences of teachers by enabling them to exchange best practice within the European learning community.This greatly enriched their workshop with new methodological solutions that enabled them to introduce the child to the world of science in an attractive way, as well as modern digital technologies and ways to use them to organise learning activities and games that foster linguistic, mathematical, logical thinking and creativity. Supporting teachers in acquiring and improving key competences that lead to the consolidation of the teaching profession for younger children, as well as helping them to find innovative teaching methods, is a priority for us, as it promotes the personal development of the teacher and the organisation. We want the school to be seen as a place for the active development of the teacher and the child, on the path to understanding a changing world in which everyone is important.
For each partner working methods, generally known in their countries, in the development of Natural sciences are proving to be insufficient, and although they are used in the best possible way, for example: results are average or below average in mathematical skills. The project idea originated during the Erasmus+ KA1 projects in Spain and Poland. The sharing of knowledge during Job Shadowing has led us to develop this project. We wanted to expand the educational offerings and make them child-friendly. The project addressed the needs of the partners and leads them to the education of the future. By building on proven ideas in the acquisition of knowledge about science concepts, the provision of multimedia, digital technologies and attractive teaching aids, we have embarked on a modern education for pre-school children and teachers. We wanted to improve our English language skills in all areas of life, from everyday life to work to private relationships, because in many countries it is the second language taught after the mother tongue. Through the project, we have joined an international learning community that helps schools to be creative and create an environment for the development of a young European.
