Project Summary

Nowadays students tend to understand the world around them through visual stimuli; visual images are more easily processed and understood than the content of a traditional frontal lesson. Moreover, in education, the growing popularity of digital supplementary materials also reflects the preferences of today’s net generation, for whom the digital world is the natural environment. Besides, among the students of the special education partner institutions participating in the consortium, the ratio of those students who require special education due to the immaturity of the nervous system and therefore cannot meet the requirements of mainstream curricula is also increasing. For these students, receiving different movement experiences is the most essential developmental stimulus to strengthen their attention concentration, develop different logical, mathematical, writing and reading skills. This, in turn, results in better complex thinking processes which enable them to perform more complex activities. Due to a better school performance the chances of early school drop-out are much lower. Likewise, the use of student-centred methods is more efficient in the development of the students’ basic skills. Better school performance also induces a stronger professional profile of the teaching profession, and students also have a better life perspective, being more useful and valued members of the society.The aim of the tender is to adapt a three-dimensional displaying and analysing system, which is already applied with success in professional sport and different scientific areas, to the field of special education and development. The current project is set out to develop a model for the movement development supported by the three-dimensional system, thus contributing to the more efficient movement development of special needs students. The use of the three-dimensional system is not only useful for the students, but for the teachers as well, since they are provided with a measurement tool, which enables them to objectively measure the efficacy of a certain movement therapy.The coordinating institution aims to fulfil the above mentioned aims and results through a four-member consortium. The consortium includes two special education institutions, which provides education for students with mild intellectual disabilities. The third member of the consortium is a foundation, whose profile is the diagnosis, development and rehabilitation of special needs students. The fourth member of the partnership is a research enterprise focusing in the development of the three-dimensional system used in the project. The professional profiles of the participating colleagues cover a wide range of the field of special education and rehabilitation.The members of the partnership develop two intellectual outputs in the project. The first one is the methodology of the use of the three-dimensional system in special education. The second one is a handbook, available in printed and online form, on the development and use of the three-dimensional methodology. The handbook is edited in a way that it meets the requirements of a university coursebook. The development of the three-dimensional methodology is facilitated by two general and three institutional trainings. Besides, the methodology will be ‘marketed’ in various events. The results of the project will be presented in three local and regional workshops, besides, a national and an international conference will also be organized on the topic. The dissemination of the results will include national as well as international publications and workshops.The major result and effect of the project is going to be a faster speed at the acquisition of different movements on the students’ part. The sense of success will result in a better school attitude and willingness to cooperate, and teachers will achieve higher added pedagogical values. This, in turn, will result in lower school aggression levels, better results in school competitions, and a bigger chance to be able to integrate in the mainstream society after their studies. Considering the teachers, they will have a better digital competence, will be more willing to cooperate at the school, and will be protected against burn-out.Finally, it can be concluded that by the implementation of this innovative method into special education, students with special needs will have a better chance to more fully integrate into the society. Thus, they will experience the importance of self-realization, the feeling of belonging and the support of their environment.
