Project Summary

The current COVID-19 crisis has caused very important social and pedagogical changes. Currently, face-to-face training cannot be conducted worldwide, due to the pandemic. Therefore, Millions of people started to receive education through open and distance education but in UNICEF (2020), it states that the risk of dropping out of school in the future increases especially for vulnerable and disadvantaged students, as the effects of the pandemic will last longer. To this end, measures should be taken to prevent interruption of education and continuous and flexible remote monitoring for all children in the home, including those without internet access or those living with disabilities. Therefore, we have decided to make this partnership because we want students to be educated without any restrictions and beyond the concepts of time and place.

This partnership aims to promote innovative practices in a digital era and reinforce the development of key competences.

PARTICIPANTS
The target groups of our project are the students between14 and 19 and teachers as main actors/actresses of education and training. The students come form different environments, with financial and social problems, the risk of school drop out, low marks, special needs and of different religions.

Our GENERAL OBJECTIVE is to reinforce the ability of education and training institutions to provide high quality, inclusive digital education and develop digital pedagogical competences of educators (minimum 60% of the target group).

Our SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES are;
– improving our teachers’ digital competencies by at least 50% at the end of 2 years
– motivating students to take lessons in distance education and increasing their active participation
– enabling students and parents to participate in education and training even when they are away from school
– reducing the risks of social exclusion

O1- “e-Learning Facilitator” is a mobile application as a kind of support desk and consists of 4 parts; Educational, Social, Administrative and Technical support.
O2- “www.onlineallinone.com” is a web page that will be created for the needs of teachers in distance education, for providing them suitable digital materials for their branches and helping them create theirs.

RESULTS AND IMPACT;
Teachers will be able to use and prepare appropriate distance learning materials for their own lessons. On the other hand, the students will develop their digital competencies, increase their self-confidence, and willingly participate in collaboration and teamwork and families will learn what they need to do in this period.

Project partners will develop their digital competencies and implement other partners’ good practices in their own schools. In this way, a common practice will create a common school culture. They will try different education and training methods. The project will ensure the dissemination and sharing of good practices at international level.

Thanks to the project, we will establish a closer cooperation between different educational institutions. We will continue cooperation among schools, Guidance and Research centers and the universities and use this for the benefit of students to build their future careers.

LONG TERM BENEFITS;
The outputs of the project will be free for the use of public so that many people can benefit from them. Good practices gained in mobilities will be shared at regional level and many teachers will be able to apply the new approaches of distant teaching and many students will be able to overcome their problems due to it.
All the outcomes and the outputs of the project will be permanently developed and used at partners’ and other schools
