3.4. Kurikulum i oblici učenja

The project partners designed and implemented a new anti-bullying programme in schools in five EU countries. It drew on the experiences of existing programmes and practices originated by the project partners working in different cultural contexts.  It provided further evidence of effective approaches to the reduction of bullying in schools that will inform the development of improved child centred, whole school strategies for adoption at European level.

Filozofija škole u pogledu poučavanja i učenja usmjerena je na učenike i njihovo aktivno razumijevanje procesa učenja te sudjelovanje u njemu. Nastavni plan i program škole utemeljen je na načelima napretka i dosljednosti.
„Most” je jedna od ključnih inovativnih praksi koje se provode u školi. Sastoji se od inovacije u nastavnom planu i programu uvedene kako bi se osiguralo pogodno i poticajno obrazovno okruženje za učenike u dobi od 11 godina koji započinju sekundarno obrazovanje. Učenje se temelji na projektima i za njega su odgovorni timovi nastavnika iz različitih područja nastavnog plana, što učenicima omogućuje rad s malim brojem nastavnika na jasno utvrđenim i povezanim ciljevima učenja. „Most” se temelji na sljedećih pet načela: postignuća, pripadnost, proslava, disciplina i obogaćenje. Učenike se potiče da budu samostalni u učenju, i to ne samo u školi. U sustavu nagrađivanja učenici mogu skupljati bodove i na kraju školske godine osvajati nagrade.

Pristup škole poučavanju i učenju temelji se na postizanju izvrsnosti u obrazovanju i dobrih rezultata svih učenika. Škola je izradila poticajan nastavni plan i program kojim nastoji osigurati da učenici razumiju procese učenja u koje su uključeni (metakognicija) i počnu vjerovati u sebe. Nastavno osoblje specijalizirano za određena područja (prirodoslovlje, glazba, umjetnost, tjelesni odgoj) i razvoj nastave matematike na razini cijele škole (za učenike 6. razreda) ključni su elementi tog procesa. Nastava filozofije za sve učenike isto je tako važan element razvoja njihovih vještina razmišljanja te njihove otpornosti i samopouzdanja. Inovacije u nastavnom planu uvode se na inicijativu škole u suradnji s partnerskom školom Whitmore Park Primary School. Redovito se provode savjetovanja sa svim članovima osoblja, upravljačkim tijelom, učenicima i roditeljima te ih se uključuje u izradu nastavnog plana i programa. Osim toga, škola blisko surađuje s partnerima u zajednici radi razvoja opsežnijih aktivnosti učenja.

Manchester Communication Academy (MCA) works to improve outcomes for children, families and the community. This secondary academy opened in 2010 to serve one of the most disadvantaged inner-city neighbourhoods in England. From the outset, the academy’s sponsor, a large employer in the city, wanted the school to help to contribute to a vibrant and sustainable neighbourhood, and committed to addressing the many inter-related economic, social and physical challenges which characterise the neighbourhood. This mission has directly shaped the academy programme, which places equal importance on ‘teaching and learning’ and ‘social investment’. The school’s social investment department is a highly distinctive feature of its overall strategy for addressing the impacts of disadvantage on young people’s education and wider life chances.

The Peep Learning Together Programme (LTP) is run by Peeple Charity. It aims to raise children’s outcomes by helping them to make the most of their opportunities and to become confident communicators and active learners. By supporting parents/carers, the programme aims to improve children’s personal, social and emotional development, communication and language, early literacy, early numeracy and health and physical development.
The evidence-based Learning Together Programme values and extends what parents/carers already do. It helps strengthen adult-child relationships, building children’s self-esteem and emotional self-regulation. The programme offers key ideas and activities relating to child development that practitioners can share with parents/carers and their children. LTP helps parents and carers to: value and extend learning opportunities in everyday life; improve the quality of the home learning environment; develop secure attachment relationships with their children; and gain nationally-recognised units based on supporting their child's learning and development. Practitioners and parents can choose which and how many topics they want to focus on, depending on local needs and interests. Nationally-recognised adult learning units are embedded within the programme. These units are based on what parents/carers already do to support their child’s development, and how they have put into practice the knowledge gained while taking part in the programme. This builds parental capacity and “learner identity;, which research shows makes progress in volunteering, learning or work more likely.

Cilj je projekta ‘Podizanje postignuća svih učenika u uključivom obrazovanju’ (RA) pružiti dokaz o učinkovitoj praksi u podizanju postignuća i izgradnji kapaciteta škola i zajednica kako bi se uključili i podržali svi učenici.

ProsocialLearn is creating fun educational games for children to learn social and emotional well-being skills. By working together, teachers and game developers are creating new learning opportunities for inclusive education. The project wants to create a prosocial game development and distribution platform in order to distribute prosocial digital games from game companies to the educational sector and work with communities of teachers in Europe to evaluate their approach. Digital games can be tailored to teach the benefits of cooperation, as well as the ability to recognise the emotions of others and express trustworthiness – prosocial skills – helping children to appreciate team-work, recognise the value of understanding other people’s needs and achieve academically.
The games are targeted in particular at children at risk of social exclusion, who find it difficult to show empathy, and include hidden indicators that measure the development of a child’s skills. ProsocialLearn also developed a platform where teachers can track their pupils’ progress and plan lessons that incorporate the games.

Cilj je projekta Sprječavanje školskog neuspjeha (PSF) riješiti nedostatak uključenosti i pravednosti u obrazovnom sustavu, naglašavanjem povezanosti školskog neuspjeha i politika uključenosti. Cilj je ispitati dokaze kojima se sugerira da politike uključivog obrazovanja imaju potencijal spriječiti školski neuspjeh – kako u odnosu na pojedince tako i na cjelokupni sustav. 

Cilj je projekta SSkM poboljšati obrazovna postignuća dječaka i mladića te spriječiti rano prekidanje školovanja putem rodno osjetljivog mentorstva i sporta. U programu Erasmus+ bilo je obrazloženo da velik broj sportskog osoblja već pruža mentorstvo dječacima u pogledu zdravstvenih i društvenih pitanja, no nedostaje im obuka kako bi to učinili učinkovito.
