Background

The subject of the project is motivation and time management in Distance Learning. Students are (and will be for a long time) challenged by changing learning requirements - schools need to adapt to national health challenges, socioeconomic conditions etc. Teachers are challenged by this as well. Methods that were moderately effective in classrooms, no longer work in forced blending/online conditions. Teachers have a big problem with students not participating/ignoring/being distracted, as well as parents not supporting the process. Over time, it became clear that it was not the equipment or technical skills of the teachers that were the biggest problem in effective remote learning, but the underrated aspect of self-management, motivation and time management. It enable teachers to gain knowledge and experience in the subject, which allow them to work with students on increasing motivation and time management. To support this products were created: In-Service Training Programme , Handbook and Online learning platform.
