Objectives
Our project is focused on introducing and developing evidence-based, innovative, and interdisciplinary methods in working with children aged 5-10 years, including those with special educational needs and adaptation problems, to enhance teachers’ and pre-service teachers’ competencies in innovative methods of learning and teaching. The projects’ methods combine the learning process with PA to promote and support student’s academic, motor, cognitive, emotional, and socio-moral development.
Activities
The project’s objective is to provide trainings for academic teachers and students in innovative teaching methods to help them develop the necessary competencies to work with children in preschool and primary education. Innovative educational materials such as films and a book will be published. Project results will be disseminated nationally and internationally through seminars, while the website and social media will be used for long-term promotion.
Impact
The results of the project will be the raising the competencies of teachers and students by introducing innovative teaching methods confirmed by micro-credentials, the book “Learning by Moving! Innovative and Interdisciplinary Teaching Methods in Preschool and Primary Education”, and a course syllabus “Learning by Moving!”. Incorporating interdisciplinary methods of teaching children through physical activities is an aspiration to create more interactive and effective educational environments.
