Project Details
Project Title
Interactive approaches and positive attitude for improving teaching and training skills
Objectives
– To support teachers in achieving better results via improved skills for combining approaches that provide a balanced package of information/knowledge/skills to students of various learning types
– To replace conformity in routine teaching/learning, which usually causes lack of interest and attention for the students and a sense of helplessness and lack of purpose among the teachers
– To support the attainment of key competence knowledge and the fostering of creativity by students in Europe by introducing an ideology of teaching that appeals to and is useful for all types of learners and thus lower the number of early school leavers due to bad results and lack of motivation
Activities
- Preparation: the project actively involves schools and teachers – a minimum of 5 schools from each country with a minimum of 2 teachers per school. We check involved students' key competences levels and their preferences as far as learningmethods are concerned.
- Developing the Golden ratio teaching toolbox: a key activity is the development of the Golden Ratio Teaching toolbox, freely available for use by interested parties, including all tested methods and approaches. The toolbox will include written description of the methods and their implementation, and video guides with instructions. This will be the manner, in which the required materials and approaches themselves will be provided to the teachers as well.
- The process of continuous testing of proposedteaching approaches, will ensure that the
impact on the end beneficiaries of the project –students – is also achieved, with sustainability
and long-term knowledge attainment in mind.
- Training events: apart from providing inspiration and knowledge, their purpose is to make sure all partners have achieved a level of proficiency with all methods shared, in order to be able to use those sustainably with target groups representatives after the project is complete.
Results
Golden Ratio Teaching aims at providing teachers with a toolbox and a number of tested approaches and methods for addressing the individual talent and learning style of students, to easily attract attention and combat some insecurities teachers face in their everyday work.
Hopefully a shift from teacher-centered to student-centered classroom will be reached which would help teachers perform better, with less stress and to apply a new organization of the process and premises in such a way that the natural curiosity of the students is enhanced.
