PROJECT RESULTS
Throughout 2 years of project implementation, the Transnational Partnership of DIGIPLAN aims at developing and achieving the following Project Results (PRs) and Outcomes:
· Project Result 1: Self-management resources for students – To create a dedicated framework of competences and a suite of self-management resources with aim of developing motivation and time management. The tools will be directed at education providers to use during their classes with vocational education students.
· Project Result 2: In-Service Training Programme and Handbook for Educators – to create and build with the knowledge to enable the successful use of the self-management toolkit in the teaching process and to develop and pilot the in-service training program and, to ensure the practical skill acquisition in order to effectively use the developed resources.
· Project Result 3: Online Learning Portal – To provide an online learning portal (online course) on which the resources developed will be uploaded with open access for everyone interested in acquiring, improving or deepening motivation and time management in distance learning.
Project results will be measured not only by created resources but primarily by a number of trained professionals and the impact of newly possessed skills on their professional lives, their students, and their environments.
Therefore, the following training activities and outcomes will be achieved by the consortium during the project lifecycle:
1) 12 VET educators will be trained in delivering the In-service training programme during the Short-term joint staff training event (C1);
2) 60 front-line school and vocational educators will have completed the in-service training programme and upgraded their professional competences in the piloting phase of PR2;
3) 480 students, including marginalized youth, will have experienced their learning process enhanced by using the self-management resources in the field of motivation and time management;
4) 120 educators, students, and policy makers will gain awareness of the project results during the Multiplier Events in all partners’ countries;
5) 40 educators, students, and policy makers will attend the final conference in Siauliai, Lithuania.
