The objectives of the Dive-In-Dialogue project are: 1. Involve European disadvantaged students in Dialogic Gatherings, improving their key competences and fostering their inclusion in school and in society. 2. Train and empower teachers to use and disseminate this evidence-based practise, working transnationally and reaching disadvantaged students, their families and communities. 3. Create a transnational network, with didactic resources and a platform, to enable the scaleup, sustainability, and political impact of the practise.
According to with international assessments such as the latest OCDE´s PISA survey, the underachievement rate in Europe, students that fail in complete basic mathematics, science, and reading task was 22.5% in reading, 22.9% in mathematics, and 22,3% in science. The students from disadvantaged backgrounds are overrepresented among the underachievers. Education is failing in reducing inequalities associated with socio-economic status. But scientific research with social impact in Education is showing the possibility of reversing this trend. There are educational actions, with a solid scientific basis, that have been shown to improve achievement and basic skills in many different contexts for all learners, especially for disadvantaged learners. This is the case of Dialogic Gatherings, a Successful Educational Action identified by INCLUD-ED research (FP6, 2006-2011) that have proven excellent results when applied in Science, Maths, Literature, Art and Music subjects.
