Project title: ICT IN TEACHER TRAINING STUDY PROGRAMS UL (Slovene: IKT V PEDAGOŠKIH ŠTUDIJSKIH PROGRAMIH UL)
Project value: 659,955.39 EUR
Duration: 1. 4. 2017 - 30. 9. 2018
Co-financing: European Union from the European Social Fund and the Republic of Slovenia

In the project "ICT in Teacher Training Study Programs UL" we qualify students, future primary and secondary school teachers, for the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the learning process.

The project involves 9 members of the University of Ljubljana: Academy of Music, Biotechnical Faculty, Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Faculty of Computer and Information Science, Faculty of Sport, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education and Faculty of Theology.

The goals of the project are the preparation of professional bases for didactic use of ICT for all areas of primary and secondary school education by UL, preparation of recommendations for equipping schools with ICT and ensuring information support to teachers, training of future teachers for didactic use of ICT at the beginning of the teaching career, and modernized learning environments for pedagogical study programs.

The achievement of the goals begins with an analysis of the knowledge, competences and skills of didactic use of ICT. And the result of analysis will be used for the preparation of starting points for the training of members of the group of higher education teachers and colleagues, as well as the planned ways of adjusting the performances of lectures, seminars and exercises with didactic use of ICT.

The development of innovative learning environments at all levels of education will contribute to the project with concrete planning, development of materials and activities for pilot exercises, seminars, and exercises. In the project, customized pilot implementations will include new forms of learning, innovative teaching materials for students and pedagogical models for use in the teaching of ICT-supported content.

With the updated pilot projects, the project will contribute to the optimization of teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools. The project is also extremely important in terms of recognizing the possibilities offered by the use of ICT for achieving higher reading literacy, as well as in terms of lifelong learning, better employability and competitiveness in the labor market.

Within the project, four consultations will be organized, two of which with international participation, at least 6 workshops for teachers, pedagogical and professional staff will be carried out, and more than 50 pilot projects of teaching with students in 6 subject areas of education. Six expert bases for didactic use of ICT will also be designed, along with recommendations for equipment of schools with ICT and providing information support to teachers.

At the end of the project, a final conference will be organized with the presentation of the results.

Our main goal

In preparing the NIO9 project, we proceeded from the fact that the digital literacy of teachers and students is needed for the successful use of ICT-supported innovative forms of teaching and learning, and that the teacher should know innovative teaching approaches to teaching and learning.

Within the project, we will focus on the development of innovative learning environments, teacher's didactic and ICT competences, and the provision of open source resources. Our main goal is to promote flexible forms of learning and to support quality career guidance for schooling youth at all levels of the education system.
