Project Summary

PROJECT BACKGROUND:”Technology should be perceived by people as a help, not as a threat.“While the Revolution based on its philosophy, Digital Transformation are expanding day by day in our social life.In the decisions adopted by the European Commission in2014.The development of digital skills is seen as a precondition for the digital transformation in the world, in other words, economic growth, the welfare of citizens, and the realization of the digital economy strategy becomes a new 21st century skill that is seen as a part of logical reasoning of which coding is an intrinsic part.Equipping young Europeans with the right skills has been reaffirmed by the EU’s 2016 Council Resolution on ‘A New Skills Agenda for an Inclusive and Competitive’ Europe,but skills gaps and mismatches remain striking. 40% of employers cannot find people with the skills they need, while students leave education and training without being sufficiently prepared to enter the labour market.The future world will need more engineers, more people with technical skills.Through this project we will give our students opportunity to develop curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, persistence, cooperation.The use of Technology or robotics, will allow as to introduce innovative teaching methods focused on student-centred and problem-based active learning. It will also allow us to meet the needs of all students, to develop innovative materials and learning activities, to foster students language skills in a second language and to increase students motivation.We will integrate maths and all the subjects to show that we can’t exist without this subject.What is more we will teach maths using ICT to make maths more attractive for the “click generation”as now the children are called.With in strategic partnerships it is endeavoured to support development, transmission and innovative practices, and to take common initiatives that promote cooperation, partnership learning and exchanging of experience on the European level.
PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT:The main motivation of this project is to improve the digital skills in education, increase our professional and content-producing experiences, internationalize, learn new approaches and benefit from the experiences of EU member countries that provide coding education to the same age group. We will provide opportunities for our students to be shaped according to their abilities as teachers, to provide them with the opportunity to receive good practices experiences, to achieve professional development, to achieve EU standards, to increase our level of internationalization in education and to increase our quality.
NUMBER AND PROFILES OF PARTICIPANTS:All of the participants will be among our teachers. Ensuring the sharing of the responsibilities of the project team in consideration of the dissemination process of the project And also the pupils of project partnes as well as their parents and their school staff and pupils have an active role in this project by having the opportunuties of learning the good innovation and expeirences.
METHODOLOGY USED IN THE PROJECT:Students can also learn this technological training in special robotic practice and coding courses that provide support training outside the school.Robots are attractive for children because they see them onTV in cartoons.This is a toy.(SMART BUG)It’s not something they use.It’s an attractive toy.Then we should know how to use these attractive toys in education.Teachers should make children think about how robots are programmed, get an idea about computer science and mathematics.Robots are very important in pedagogy.
PRE-PROVIDED RESULTS AND EFFECTS OF THE PROJECT:
*The Pupils will be able to educate the researcher students who have high self-efficacy, can set goals that are accessible, aims to continuous learning, can think critically and creatively, self-confident,produce fast solutions, overcome problems
* An environment will be created for the students to feel happy because They are in school and is a part of the school
* In Coding class management, techniques will be used to decrease student self-control
* Equal opportunities will be offered to ensure the integration of disability pupils
* Teachers who have become more dynamic and equipped with the experiences they have gained will contribute to the establishment of a well-established corporate culture by developing professional approaches
* Will be persistent and determined in the face of failures and problems with special efforts for low-level students
* Teachers will realize how important the students play and learn with fun in their academic development
LONG TERM POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT:The experiences gained will enable our school to catch up with EU standards by innovating and to become international in education. Improving the quality of our institution and internationalization will be ensured by means of increasing transnational cooperation between our teachers and stakeholders.
