Project Summary

Background:

Today, with the development of technology in every field, education technologies continue to develop at the same speed. Educational technologies are mostly used in schools and are mostly designed as systems for students. Today’s students are now students from the classical education system and have undergone radical change. Today’s students are natives of digital natives who can use technology naturally because of being first generation with modern technology. These students spend the vast majority of their time effectively using digital technologies that surround them. Technological devices such as computers, tablets and smartphones have been integrated into the lives of these students. For this reason, the technology perception of today’s students is very different from the perceptions of teachers who teach technology to them. While only the students in Turkey with advanced computer skills at a level of 1%, this ratio is 37% in the Czech Republic, 35% in Korea, 34% in Poland and 33% in Australia. Studies have shown that early childhood education curriculum is not sufficient to study learning, coding education, effective use of technology, problem solving and critical thinking.

Objectives:

This project we are doing is a work with innovative objectives in the field. It is envisaged to make a platform where the use of coding and ICT (Information and Communication Technology) in our project will be more attractive to teachers and students, and that teachers and students in vocational education on an international scale can share their work with each other. Such a platform is not yet available. From this point of view, our project is a size that can cover a significant deficiency.

In this project, we aimed to minimize the loss of material and time and to use classroom (ICT) and coding effectively. Another important goal of this project is to accelerate the flow of professional knowledge among the boundaries and contribute to the internationalization of education by providing continuous cooperation with teachers and students in preschool education in different European countries.

Profile of Participants:

Our target groups are pre-school teachers and students who are trained in preschool education. There will be no division and country limitation, but the project start and expansion activities will be carried out by 5 countries.

Outputs:

1) The project web portal where all data will be entered,

2) CLT android, iOS and Windows Application,

3) CODING usage guide

4) Statistical data analysis

Expected Impact:

– More efficient and faster spreading of information in vocational training through mobile, desktop applications (TR, EN, IT, RO, SI)
Acquisition of coding skills
– Development of cooperative learning skills
-Development of basic and digital skills
– Increasing social and digital skills to raise the probability of employment in the future.
– Increasing the quality of education by using ICT more effectively in education,

– Increasing the quality of education given in the long term in our region,

– Encourage new teaching methods to be included in education more,

Multisectoral, multi cultural and multi-geographical partnership including Turkey, Italy, Romania, Spain and Poland.
