City of Kutina ·Croatia
About this project
<p>The project addresses the problem of underdeveloped competencies and skills of teachers and students in Kutina in the field of STEM. The project focuses on the STEM areas of mathematics, technology and engineering in order to prepare students for the successful continuation of education at the secondary level, which will prepare them for the challenges of a technologically advanced modern society. The goal of the project is therefore to improve the capacity of primary education in Kutina by equipping 5 STEM classrooms, raising the STEAM skills of 100 teachers and 600 students in 5 primary schools, together with improving their skills in the field of ICT in education. Skills development in the field of active citizenship and the development of entrepreneurship will also be addressed in the project. The project will incorporate special needs students in the participation in activities. The Faculty of Teacher Education, as a project partner will provide trainings for teachers for tailored education for SEN students, which will be incorporated in teaching activities. The added value of the project is the inclusion of project partners Kutina Modeling Center, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture Zagreb and Volda University College, which will provide trainings for teachers in 3D modeling, mechanics, and mathematics respectively. The focus will be on participation, student engagement and learning opportunities for the perspective of the partners.</p>
