Project Summary

Driven by Industry 4.0 and digital technology, jobs are becoming more flexible and complex. People’s capacities to be entrepreneurial, manage complex information, think autonomously and creatively, use resources, including digital ones, smartly, communicate effectively and be resilient are more crucial than ever. Europe also needs more high achievers who can develop the cutting edge technologies and solutions on which our future prosperity depends. With this project we recognise that without higher education institutions (HEIs) and systems that are effective in education, research and innovation and connected to their societies, Europe cannot respond to these challenges. Therefore, it is the main objective of this project to respond to the horizontal priority of the programme: Supporting educators, youth workers, educational leaders and support staff, since the TEACH4EDU4 project activities are designed to enable the creation of the environment for implementation of new learning and teaching approaches in computer science and related disciplines. The project includes higher education institutions joined in the partnership to enable its teachers and students a unique exercise in acquiring new skills and new teaching methods in line with the developments in Industry 4.0. Furthermore, the project will very concretely contribute to the achievement of the additional priority set out in the Call: Tackling skills gaps and mismatches. With the unique concept of Joint Creative Classrooms this project is expected to offer mobility from home experience and a significant increase of knowledge in the field of computer science education.
The project will result in a series of tangible and intangible results: Catalogue of new forms of teaching, learning and assessment in CS in Edu 4.0 and related teachers’ skills and competences, Learning design models, Collaborative Teaching Methods for Joint Creative Classrooms, Guidebook on the use of learning data to create evidence-based learning design decisions and Partnership Manifesto – Transferability of the developed models.
