EducADULTs is a strategic partnership with 3 partner countries: Slovenia (LUV) and Spain (CEPA Paulo Freire) centers for adults; together with the Czech Republic (GLAFKA) education advisory
company. It was born from the analysis of needs of the 2 educational centers where the lack of motivation of students with learning difficulties and low qualifications is detected. Our students show a high risk of exclusion in society due to previous academic failure. Our students need strategies to improve their process of skills acquisition and an effective evaluation/assessment system.The selection of 2 faculty participants takes place through the Erasmus Project Team 2019.
In our selection process, 14 students that show proactivity towards the tasks and have availability to
travel will be selected. Their linguistic and cultural preparation will be taken into consideration, as
well as their interest in attending the proposed meetings and their dedication to an audiovisual
project that will be requested as a final test.
METHODOLOGY
The EducADULTs methodology is defined as "pilot project" of a group of 28 students and 4
Slovenian-Spanish teachers that tries to implement a series of improvement strategies to optimize
adult education. This "Slovenian-Spanish Pilot Team" (14 students and 2 teachers per member)
together with a Czech educational advisor (who is our third partner) will experience a series of
activities before - during and after the mobilities.
ACTIVITIES
The activities (workshops, meetings, visits, debates) are aimed at improving the basic competencies
of students, promoting the reach of adult education through motivation and designing new evaluation
paths that allow us to obtain more positive results. The students and professors themselves will
evaluate and evaluate the results of their experiences, report the feasibility, suitability and
effectiveness of approaches, learning and methodologies in both institutions.
There will be 3 mobilities:
1.- Spain: 2 teachers and 12 Slovenian students will learn about our methodologies based on the
acquisition of digital and linguistic competence in the foreign language of the CEPA Paulo Freire.
They will also know our blog system.
2.- Slovenia: 2 teachers and 12 Spanish students will perform observation in the classroom, learn
about new educational approaches (Flipped Classroom) and hold workshops on culture and
improvement for the acquisition of basic skills.
3.- Czech Republic: 4 teachers advised by the Czech partner. With the reports of the 2 mobilities an
exhaustive study will be made on the results obtained. This will be helped by the company GLAFKA,
Luka Novotny as educational advisor and participant observer in the mobilities. Once the result has
been refined, we will try to put into practice, in the short term, those positive strategies and
methodologies that we will conclude and implement the measures and strategies in our own context.
EXPECTED RESULTS
The results that we hope for are very positive, since they will help us deduce strategies to facilitate
the acquisition of basic skills for students; we will also implement the evaluation system used to
document results and improve them. All this will help us to have a more effective outreach and give
adult education the good reputation it deserves.
IMPACT
We will measure the impact, qualifying if we have achieved the objectives and, in turn, these have
affected the different levels with lasting effect.
- Better results in the final grades of the students.
- Greater variety of teaching and assessment strategies to offer a more personalized teaching.
- Students and teachers will be more motivated, with a stronger feeling of Europe belonging.
DISSEMINATION
We will ensure that these results will be used by other centers, disseminating our experiences
periodically as we will use them constantly in our daily practice. The results will be published as the
bimonthly and quarterly reports are made, as well as the final report.
- Photos of the work carried out, before-during and after the mobilities will be published, with the
consequent explanation of the objective pursued and the milestones achieved.
