📋 Tender Overview
Objectives
Recent literature has shown that there are weaknesses in the provision of civic education in primary schools. The aim of this project is to improve teachers' skills and competencies in using metaverse technologies XR (extended reality) to support civic learning and to better prepare them to use advanced modern technologies to help young students develop and practise the knowledge, beliefs and behaviours they need to participate in civic life and make an impact on their community.
Activities
The partners will work together to 1) propose new reflections on methodological and pedagogical models for civic learning in the metaverse, 2) prepare teachers to apply modern metaverse-enabled civic learning scenarios, 3) validate the application of learning scenarios following modern metaverse-enabled civic learning pedagogical techniques through pilot studies, 4) promote teachers' lifelong learning skills through the exchange and development of learning scenarios 5) disseminate good practises
