Pilot training started
The aim of this project is to create a tool to ensure equal opportunities for students with fewer opportunities in preparing for the most challenging subject in mathematics. To this end, the results of the project will be tested in the context of pilot teaching.
The aim of the pilot training is to test the digital mathematics content created by the project in practice in a school setting; to support the preparation of students for the A-levels; and to develop the most effective method of preparation, which can be freely adapted for use in the field of education.
The methodology of the pilot training: the pilot training is based on a blended learning methodology, which consists of two phases of learning that build on each other:
– on the one hand, the learning of the digital mathematics curriculum created on the e-learning platform;
– on the other hand, as a result of the performance-based group segmentation based on the results of the first phase, homogeneous small group online sessions are used to
further differentiated development of the learners.
Learning activity: processing the digital learning material on the e-learning platform. The pilot will run for a total of 12 weeks, with 13 teachers, 115 learners (or more) and 12 learning pathways. In the first 8 weeks, students will work on one of the 8 topics of the exam, while in the last 4 weeks they will continue to work on the content, which will be targeted to overcome the learning difficulties they have encountered and focus more on the critical areas.
Clustering: homogeneous clusters of learners will be formed for each subject area, i.e. each week, based on the results achieved on the e-learning platform. Performance-based clustering is used to implement small group online sessions for further differentiated development, adapted to individual levels of ability and development. As a result, pupils with the same difficulties are grouped together to provide additional online small group tutoring by teachers in a given subject area.
