REFERENCE: 26360-CP-3-98-1-BE-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: Improving Early Childhood Education's Quality: well-being and Involvement as Keys DESCRIPTION: This project focuses on the improvement of the quality of early childhood education in general and on the education for children with special developmental needs or socioemotional problems in particular. The general aim of this project is to share the expertise which the coordinating institution has in this field with other European partners. Together they will develop teaching modules adapted to the specific educational environments of the participating countries and set up a dissemination strategy to transfer this expertise to other institutions which are interested in the field of early childhood care. The original materials developed by the coordinating institution will be enriched by the cultural differeces among the partners in their perception and approach to quality in early childhood education. They will organise six training modules focusing on the improvement of early childhood education.

It pays particular attention to the multiplier effect of the project as all teachers who will be trained will have to act as multipliers towards other colleagues in the schools concerned. The project, therefore, also focuses in an important way on team-building. The project partner wants to develop a training resource module on these topics and to make sure that they will be able to disseminate this module to all interested throughout the EU. As three of the partners have already met in a Helios II programme and they have shared experience about the subject, teacher training, consultancy work and behaviour problems, they hope that it will be easier for them to arrange conatct seminars and produce the intended outcomes. The use of modern technology relevant to the open and distant learning is also anticipated. COORDINATOR: VRIJ P.M.S. CENTRUM C.

Ce projet qui se répartira sur 3 ans vise à donner aux enseignants de l'école élémentaire et de l'enseignement secondaire inférieur (ES, IT, PT, BE au départ) les connaissances et les compétences suffisantes pour comprendre le rôle de l'Europe au XXème siècle et pour vivre en Europe comme citoyen européen responsable. Le but est d'actualiser la formation des enseignants à travers les différents niveaux de son travail : affiner l'image mentale que chacun a de l'Europe, actualiser les contenus et méthodes (stratégies d'apprentissage, travail en interdisciplinarité), réfléchir sur la fonction sociale de la discipline et son rôle dans l'éducation à la citoyenneté européenne, acquérir des attitudes nouvelles (collaboration, partenariats), développer des compétences professionnelles, connaître d'autres systèmes éducatifs, être confronté à d'autres cursus scolaires et produire en groupe multinational. Le thème commun est l'étude des région(s) et paysage(s) comme expression de la dimension européenne. Plusieurs sessions de formation seront organisées durant les 3 années du projet; les relations établies en cours de formation s'intensifieront et déboucheront sur la construction de partenariats scolaires ou autres formes de coopération.

Europese Beeldcultuur : Nieuwe mediamethodiek en Audio-Visuele middelen in de klas DESCRIPTION: The objective of the ''EB Europese beeld cultuur'' (E.B. European image-culture) intends to prepare an in-service training course enabling teachers of upper secondary education to use in an interactive way audio-visual means and new information technologies in the classroom. Particular attention will be given to the interdsciplinary approach in relation to this. The in-service training course will focus on concrete subelements which are related to the topic concerned such as how to develop a synopsis and a scenario for a video, how to direct the making of a video etc. The project will result in several products: a) the production of a handbook on audio-visual methods and methodologies for teachers, b) working tools in this field to be used by pupils and c) a support video which can be used in teacher education. The in-service education sessions will be on the one hand on-site for 5 days but on the other hand teachers involved will be able to communicate through the sandwich model; the teachers thus get a certain number of assignements which they carry out in their respective countries; the necessary fee-back is given by the tutors through the PC Network.Teachers will also be invited to draft synopsis for films or videos, send them via internet to the central training centre where they will be assessed; advice and suggestions will be given to teachers through internet. Thus the project focuses on the use of new audio-visual means such as video and simultaneously links it to the new information technologies such as internet. audio-visual - video - NIT - handbook - interdisciplinarity COORDINATOR: AUTONOME RAAD VOOR HET GEMEENSCHAPSONDERWIJS J. de Lalaingstraat, 28 B-1040 BRUSSEL Phone: +32/2/234.58.23 Fax: +32/2/280.01.66 Email: [email protected] / [email protected] CONTACT: Jens VERMEERSCH PARTNERS: • MEDIA OPLEIDINGSCENTRUM VZW, BE • AUDIOVISUEL POUR TOUS DANS L'EDUCATION, FR • INSTITUTO DE INOVAÇÃO EDUCACIONAL PEDAGOGIA, PT REFERENCE: 41055-CP-2-98-1-BE-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: EVINEST - Evaluation of effectiveness in European staff development and inservice training programmes DESCRIPTION: The overall general objectives of the present project is to enhance the impact of inservice education activities have on educational practice by focusing on the evaluation of such in-set activities; a particular emphasis will be given to lifelong learning for teachers. The specific objectives of the project hence are the following: a) to make all the agents involved in in-set (providers, advisers, head teachers, teaching staff...) aware of what constitutes qualitative staff development and in-set programmes, b) to provide a coherent framework and easily manageable instruments for the internal and external evaluation of staff development and in-set programme, c) to provide guidance and practice in the operationalisation of effectiveness criteria, d) to teach providers how they can analyse their own practice, e) to teach users how to distinguish between quality in in-set programmes and excellence in provider institutions and f) to teach users and particularly school heads how they need to contribute to the successful implementation of in-set programmes in their schools. The targer groups thus are in-set providers and in-set users. The project will result in a number of publications including : 1) a survey of effectiveness criteria, 2) an instrument for internal evaluation of in-set 3) two instruments for external evaluation - one for the use of national authorities, and one for the use of the users of in-set and 4) a brochure for schoolleaders with strategies and models for setting-up school-based in-set. The action 3.1. project is also to result in six Comenius action 3.2. courses. schoolbased in-set - internal/external evaluation - effectiveness criteria - brochure schoolleaders COORDINATOR: CENTRA VOOR NAVORMING - VZW NAVORMING IN HET KATHOLIEK ONDERWIJS Guimardstraat 1 B-1040 BRUSSEL Phone: +32/2/507.07.82 Fax: +32/2/511.68.39 Email: [email protected] CONTACT: Rudi SCHOLLAERT PARTNERS: • UNIVERSITY OF HULL, GB • HEINOLAN KURSSIKESKUS, FI • EAE - ELLINOAMERIKANINI ENOSSI, GR REFERENCE: 41065-CP-2-98-1-BE-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: BISEL - De biotische index in het secundair onderwijs DESCRIPTION: The project entitled ' The Biotic Index at Secondary Education level' or BISEL main objectives are: a) to make the teaching of biology more attractive and more practically oriented, b) to promote the integration of the chapters of the biology curriculum which focus on 'classification' and 'ecology', c) to demonstrate the European dimension of environmental problems as biological water quality assessments by using the biotic index are internationally comparable, d) to develop educational tools to help secondary school pupils to determine the biotic index and e) to promote internationally comparable scientific research into water quality. Thus the projects hopes to internationalise at the level of the secondary school, the biotic index, a biological water quality assessment method for rivers. The target group of the project are thus both t0eachers of biology and pupils; it is also hoped that the project will contribute to enhance the interest of girls for sciences. Initial teacher education institutions and eco-centers will also be involved in the project. The project will result in the organisation of in-service training courses for teachers of bilogy focusing on the biotic index stressing the use of fieldwork as an innovative teaching and learning method; teachers who have been involved in the in-set courses will have to keep in touch through INTERNET afterwards. Next to the in-set an ecomanual will be developed for secondary schools. Finally it is the explicit objective to see to it that the action 3 projects leads to the creation and the implementation of action 1 projects, European Educational projects of Comenius. biotic index - environmental education - secondary school - internet - EEPs action 1 COORDINATOR: UNIVERSITEIT GENT J.

The project will mainly focus on the development of an in-service training course and on the development of reading lists and teaching packages in relation with 'war and peace'. The project will also do research on reading habits and reading materials in primary and secondary schools. Innovative methodology in the field of reading content-based language teaching and classroom research will be implemented in the materials and will provide teachers with new didactic approaches to their teaching practice. The projects thus wants to enhance reading and to create a richer reading and learning environment. The projects hopes to enhance the European dimension by multiplying and by exchanging the lists and teaching packages; concretely speaking the project will aim at providing to teachers the possibility to include a European dimension in their language and literature teaching. The multilingual and multi-cultural aspects of the project will increase European, multicultural, intercultural and global awareness. The project also hopes to raise school achievement by implementing innovative methodological and didactical ideas. Finally the projects hoped to help children who have reading problems; reading materials on minority groups should stimulate children belonging to such groups in their reading habits and improve their reading skills. The beneficiairies will be primary school teachers, secondary teachers, students in initial and in-set, pupils, students, librarians, publishers and reading societies. literature on war and peace - children with reading difficulties - teaching packages COORDINATOR: KATHOLIEKE HOGESCHOOL LEUVEN Naamsesteenweg 355 B-3001 HEVERLEE Phone: +32/16/39.92.00 Fax: +32/16/40.70.87 Email: [email protected] CONTACT: Annemie LEYSEN PARTNERS: • CHICHESTER INSTITUTE OF HIGHER EDUCATION, GB • INSTITUTO POLITÉCNICO ESTEFANILHA CIÊNCIAS DE EDUCAÇÃO, PT • UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON, GB REFERENCE: 41202-CP-2-98-1-BE-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: Formation de formateurs d'enseignants à l'éducation interculturelle DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet est de mettre en place un réseau de formateurs capables d'organiser des formations d'équipes éducatives dans des écoles multiculturelles afin de promouvoir l'éducation interculturelle et multiculturelle; les groupes cibles dans ces écoles seront les enseignants et les chefs d'établissements.

Methodology to use ICT and multimedia in multidisciplinary-projectwork DESCRIPTION: The aim of the project called MICTEP or Methodology to use ICT and multimedia in multidisciplinary-project work, is to implement the European dimension in school education by using ICT and multimedia in international and European project work. The purpose is to develop an innovative project-based ICT training that enables teachers and students in secondary schools to use ICT in international or European multi-disciplinary project work. The aim hence is to investigate how innovative learning strategies for that are more efficient for both students and teachers and can be introduced by using ICT. The project wants to provide methodological assistance to teachers in developing cross-curricular unit linked to national curricula. The project aims to achieve these goals through intensive collaboration between the four Comenius 3.1 partners and the 8 pilot schools belonging to a Comenius network, focusing on the multi-disciplinary theme of ''Building and Living''. The training courses and the materials will be prepared by the four partners in close co-operation with the teachers of the secondary schools. Target groups are headteachers, secondary school teachers and students aged 14 - 18 years of age. Parents of the students will be invited to participate in the ICT training as well. The expected outcomes and products will be the result of the close collaboration between the four partners and the pilot-schools; A set of guidelines for a project-based ICT training in secondary schools and for a methodology to support schools to implement ICT in international project-work will be developed during the first and second year and completed in the third year. A multi-media oriented cross-curricular unit ''Building and living'' and a CD-ROM with interactive materials containing the result of project-work of students will be created. A transnational virtual forum will be extended gradually for students and teachers from other schools.

Zunehmend wird aber deutlich, daß´auch Jungen in der Schule einer adäquaten, geschlechtsspezifischen Unterstützung bedürfen, wenn eine Veränderung ihres Rollenverständnisses erreicht werden soll. Die Konzeption einer mädchengerechten Schule erfordert als Ergänzung auch Überlegungen und Konzeptionen einer adäquaten Arbeit mit Jungen. Zielgruppen sind zunächst ausgewählte Multiplikatoren, später Schulteams. Fortbildungsmaterialien sollen fächerübergreifend entwickelt werden, zudem sind Fortbildungsveranstaltungen geplant.

Denn in Schulen, die sich im Sinne eines modernen Qualitätsmanagements organisieren, werden Entscheidungen vielfältiger Art auf der Hierarchiestufe getroffen, auf der sie sachlich erforderlich sind, nämlich häufig auf Ebene der Lehrkraft. Deren Problemlösungspotential kann aber nur effektiv genutzt werden, wenn sie sich diese Aufgaben zu eigen macht und wenn sie über Methoden verfügt, diese in eigener Verantwortung und in Kooperation mit Kollegen wahrzunehmen. Zielgruppe des Projekts sind Lehreraus und -fortbilder, Lehrer mit dem Schwerpunkt im berufsbildenden Bereich, mittelbar auch alle anderen an öffentlichen Schulen beteiligten wie Schülerinnen und Schüler, Eltern, Schulträger sowie Mitarbeiter im Schulmanagement. Das Projekt ist zunächst auf zwei Jahre angelegt. Im ersten Jahr werden Arbeitskonzepte für die Lehreraus- und fortbildung erstellt. Dabei sollen unter anderem Strukturelemente entwickelt und zwischen den Projektkursen bereits in den beteiligten Institutionen praktisch erprobt werden. Im zweiten Jahr wird die Arbeit des ersten Jahrs fortgeführt, vertieft und einer möglichst breiten Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt.

These models are: Montessori education, Freinet education, Jena-Plan education and Dalton-Plan education; all examples of Reform pedagogics which enhance active work of pupils and clearly focus on the varied abilities of the children. The project aims to provide European teachers and teacher educators with an easier approach to these pedagogical models. The proposal describes in some detail the various models of teaching and learning that it wishes to promote: the emphasis is on autonomous learning for the pupils involved. In order that schools may use such models efficiently, the project also aims to disseminate models of school organisation. The project emphasises the need for 'mobility', both within individual schools and also within the broader systems of which these schools are a part. The project is to last three years and several concrete products are to result: two teacher training modules and two training models, to be published in book form and on CD ROM.

DESCRIPTION: The project 'Verwirklichung der europäischen Dimension in Schulen anhand der Durchführung europäischer Bildungsprojekte' in EN 'Realisation of the European Dimension in schools through European Learning Projects' builds on cooperation between experts from teacher training institutes in DE, NL and DK. Each institution has at least two 'contact schools' most of them already involved in transnational work or projects. The experts will support the international initiatives of the teachers and exploit and report their experiences. The partners will also describe the process of management of European learning projects (ELP) and the methodology and didactics that must be implemented to realise them. In addition they want to develop evaluation methods for the assessment of the impact of ELP's on the quality of the teaching and on the image creation of the individual school. The project has a planned duration of 3 years and will result in 3 Action 3.2 courses, one in each country. The project is focusing on the need for more precise and concrete suggestions for the implementation of the European dimension in different subjects as well as in interdisciplinary projects, on cooperative learning and on the use of new media for communication. Target group of the project are teachers in lower secondary, who have an interest in an ELP.

DESCRIPTION: The ultimate objective of this project is for pupils to become familiar with the structures of labour markets in different European countries by undertaking periods of practical training abroad. The organisers see this as important in the light of the internationalisation and globalisation of the labour market. As pupils are to be accompanied on such visits by their teachers, the project also aims to provide a thorough training programme to qualify the staff. The aim of the training programme will be to develop teachers' specialist knowledge of Arbeitslehreunterricht (teaching of the world of work), focusing on the European dimension of this field. To this end, it aims to run training sessions and to build up an information and data network between participating institutions. The first year is to be a planning and preparation phase by the teacher trainers in the respective countries. This phase will include practical planning and also lectures from experts, as well as courses in Denmark and the Netherlands. The second year will consist of training courses, the third year will see the implementation of the practical training programme for pupils. The last two years will apply for funding under Action 2.

DESCRIPTION: The project 'HOBE - Erkennung und Förderung hochbegabter Kinder in allgemeinbildenden Schulen' in EN 'Recognition and Support of Gifted Pupils in Public Schools' wants to focus on gifted children and their specific needs for support. The project group includes experts from universities in DE, NL, GB and HU having many years of practical and scientific experience. Research estimates that about 50% of the gifted children do not get the support they need, which often causes school failure for these children. The partners will first of all make a review of the present stock of European knowledge concerning gifted children. The review shall be used as basis for developing the contents of the Action 3.2 in-service training course, that is planned for the second year of the project. The project group states that the most common reason for under-achieving by gifted children is the lack of knowledge of the teachers. The project deals with three key areas in the work with gifted pupils: Knowledge of theories and recent theoretical development, knowledge of the characteristics of gifted children and knowledge of the strategies that can be used in order to meet the educational needs of the these pupils. The outcomes of the project will be an analysis of the present situation in the subject area, strategies and teaching materials for support of gifted children, a European framework for in-service training, a 3.2 course and a CD-rom and a homepage with open pages. The main target group is teachers, but the results of the project will be of strong interest for teacher trainers, heads and parents of gifted children. The planned duration of the project is 3years.

DESCRIPTION: The project 'Neue Armut im Kontext eines europäischen Christentums' in EN 'New Poverty in the Context of European Christianity' has the aim to provide primary and secondary teachers with information, tools for teaching and methods of autonomous learning by means of which they can deal with the problems of 'New Poverty' in teaching of different subjects as well as in interdisciplinary projects. The context and surroundings of the school should be investigated too. The methodology is linked with the European dimension and motivated through Christian Ethic. Autonomous learning, lifelong learning, a multiperspective approach to 'New Poverty' and interdisciplinary learning are the main focuses of the project. Intercultural education is another aspect of the issue. The project is coordinated by an in-service training institute in Mainz, DE and has partners in Hessen, DE, BE, NL and IE. The idea of the 'New Poverty' is that changes in the European societies have caused increased risks for certain groups, for example the risk of unemployment. The project intends to find ways in which the teachers can enable the pupils to cope with new situations and to improve their possibilities for a good life by being active themselves. The project has a planned duration of 2 years. The outcomes of the project are teaching/learning materials and models for project work, which will be available in German, Dutch, French, English and Gaelic in print through the partner institutions and on internet. During the second year the project group will develop and hold in-sevice seminars to introduce the principles of working with 'New Poverty' and to present the results from the project.

Les objectifs du projet sont donc: a) faciliter l'accès des enseignants et des élèves (et ceci à terme) aux activités théâtrales dans les pays de la Union Européenne, b) améliorer l'expérience de base des participants-stagiaires en élargissant leur horizon par une pratique dépassant le cadre de chaque pays ou région, c) dégager les différentes approches des pratiques d'activités théâtrales selon les pays et régions en insistant sur les valeurs de remédiation et d'innovation de la pratique théâtrale et d) prévoir la mise en place d'activités pratiques et s'appuyer en même temps sur des apports d'experts et de professionnels. La formation continue d'une semaine organisée consécutivement dans les pays partenaires, accentuera les éléments suivants: 1) le partage d'expériences en comparant les pratiques et les approches des activités théâtrales, 2) monter à partir de cette réflexion commune une formation continue qui comportera 50% d'activités pratiques et concrètes en atelier, 3) la création de PEE, des Projets Educatifs Européens, de l'action 1 de Comenius à partir des enseignants participants. Comme le projet essai de remédier à certaines situations d'échec scolaire le projet accentuera certaines compéténces favorisées par le théâtre avec des élèves: les qualités de concentration, la régularité du travail, l'amélioration de la perception de soimême et l'implication de tous les élèves; le savoir-être acquis ainsi par le biais du théâtre peut par après être réinvesti dans d'autres situations éducatives et personnelles théâtre - échec scolaires - compéténces/attitudes COORDINATOR: CENTRE RÉGIONAL DE DOCUMENTATION PÉDAGOGIQUE DES PAYS DE LA LOIRE Chemin de l'Hébergement F-44072 NANTES CEDEX 03 Phone: +33/2/51.36.09.60 Fax: +33/2/51.46.12.41 Email: [email protected] CONTACT: Jean LATAILLADE PARTNERS: • UNIVERSITY OF DERBY, GB • ISTITUTO REGIONALE DI RICERCA SPERIMENTAZIONE E AGGIORNAMENTO EDUCATIVI PER L'EMILIA - ROMAGNA, IT • ASSOCIATION VENTS ET MAREES, FR • IPR - IA, FR • DAMS, IT • VZW ROELAND, BE REFERENCE: 40880-CP-2-98-1-FR-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: Apprendre de, pour, avec un correspondant sur un thème disciplinaire DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet est de mettre en oeuvre une formation continue focalisant sur l'utilisation de la 'correspondance scolaire entre élèves' (ou 'chantiers d'écriture') comme moyen pour faire émerger une conscience européenne d'une part et pour contribuer à l'amélioration de la réussite scolaire d'autre part. C'est principalement la réussite scolaire qui est espérée par la confrontation des points de vue des jeunes qui communiquent par le biais de la correspondance sur un thème choisi, celui de l'environnement; ce thème est traîté par le biais de sous-thèmes: la protection de la forêt, le traitement des déchêts, la pollution de l'eau, la valorisation de la nature etc. Le point de départ de l'élaboration de la formation continue sera une recherche-action qui fournira les élements de base pour construire la formation continue qui aura comme thème ces chantiers d'écriture. En choisissant de travailler sur un même sujet mais dans des lieux différents avec des démarches différentes, avec des résultats et des présentations qui peuvent varier on mettra les élèves face à des situations-problème sources d'apprentissage. En outre, la communication avec et pour des partenaires amènera à produire de vrais écrits. La formation continue proposée sera donc construite à partir de la recherche-action et puisera dans les expriences vécues lors de cette recherche-action aussi bien au niveau des élèves que des enseignants. La recherche-action sera la base de l'élaboration et du développement d'une méthodologie de ces chantiers d'écriture. coorespondance scolaire entre élèves - chantiers d'écriture - recherche-action environnement COORDINATOR: FÉDÉRATION DE L'OFFICE CENTRAL DE LA COOPÉRATION À L'ECOLE - OCCE 101 bis, rue du Ranelagh F-75016 PARIS Phone: +33/1/44.14.93.30 Fax: +33/1/45.27.49.83 Email: CONTACT: Louis CHARDON PARTNERS: • CENTRE D'AUTO-FORMATION ET DE FORMATION CONTINUE DE L'ENSEIGNEMENT DE LA COMMUNAUTE FRANÇAISE DE BELGIQUE, BE • DUNDEE CITY COUNCIL, GB REFERENCE: 40886-CP-2-98-1-FR-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: Ecole Ordinaire et Enfants et Adolescents atteints de maladies somatiques DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet est de mettre en oeuvre à partir de la 3e année de ses activités une formation continue pour permettre à des enseignants et d'autres acteurs éducatifs d'être attentifs et d'intégrer mieux dans les écoles ordinaires les enfants et adolescents atteints de maladies somatiques. La première année du projet consistera à analyser dans les établissements des différents pays européens, les fonctionnements usuels et les organisations mises en place pour assurer l'accueil de ces jeunes malades. A partir de ces descriptions générales le projet s'efforcera pendant la 2e année à dégager les facteurs favorisant la qualité de cet accueil parmi lesquelles: les conditions matérielles, les ressources humaines, les compétences pédagogiques et techniques requises de la part des partenaires éducatifs, les références déontologiques partagées par les partenaires et les contributions apportées par les familles et les associations de parents. Cette phase résultera dans la production de documents (écrits, audio-visuels, informatiques etc.) La 3e année foaclisera sur l'élaboiration d'un cours européen de formation en vue de sensibiliser et de former des enseignants à l'accueil des enfants malades somatiques. élèves somatiques - accueil - documents écrits, audio-visuels, informatiques COORDINATOR: CENTRE NATIONAL D'ETUDES ET DE FORMATION POUR L'ENFANCE INADAPTEE 58-60, Avenue des Landes F-92150 SURESNES Phone: +33/1/41.44.31.21 Fax: +33/1/45.06.39.93 Email: [email protected] CONTACT: Jacotte DUPLENNE PARTNERS: • MINISTERIUM FÜR BILDUNG, WISSENSCHAFT, FORSCHUNG UND KULTUR DES LANDES SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, DE • MINISTERIO DE EDUCACIÓN Y CULTURA, ES REFERENCE: 40888-CP-2-98-1-FR-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: Projet personnel de l'élève et politique éducative d'établissement DESCRIPTION: L'objectif du projet est d'organiser une formation continue pour des membres du personnel éducatif des établissements scolaires agricoles à partir d'un projet de recherche action sur le projet personnel de l'élève dans les écoles agricoles et le liens entre ce projet personnel et la politique éducative de l'établissement. Un des objectifs généraux est de faciliter la transition des élèves vers le monde professionnel. Le projet est centré autour d'une problématique centrale: remettre en perspective l'aide à la maturation ou à la réalisation du projet personnel de l'élève dans sa confrontation avec l'environnement professionnel et le projet éducatif de l'établissement. La formation qui découlera de la recherche-action s'adresse aux publics-cibles suivants: les chefs d'établissements, les coordinateurs d'activités pédagogiques et éducatives au niveau d'un établissement, d'une classe, d'une filière et/ou de niveaux de formation professionnelle. L'action de formation est fondée sur un processus de recherche-action qui s'inspire de la pratique réflexive et de la démarche de ''learning organisation''. Le projet résultera premièrement dans la mise en oeuvre de la recherche-action et à partir de celle-ci dans deux formations continues en mai 1998 et 1999. En plus les publications suivantes seront produites: a) un rapport de recherche sur l'accompagnement du projet personnel de l'élève par les équipes d'établissements et b) l'analyse du fonctionnement du dispositif multilatéral de recherche-action. Il est prévu d'organiser un symposium européen pour clôturer le projet en l'an 2000 à l'occasion des assemblées générales des deux assscoiations européennes EUROPEA et REIFEA qui travaillent dans le domaine de l'éducation agricole.

The central objective of the project is to provide in-service opportunities for teachers to acquire the information and skills to enable them to set up forms of electronic penfriendships and correspondence between their schools. Coordinated by the CIEP at Sèvres (Fr), a specialised institution in the field concerned, the partnership includes in-service training bodies and teacher associations in De,It and Es. The intention of the project is to organise in the first year national and transnational meetings bringing together representatives of a number of schools ready to take part in the project and in which materials will be developed and tested. The eventual outcome of the project is the production of a package of teaching and training materials and work by pupils plus the setting up a Website dedicated to the objectives of the project to disseminate the outcomes and results of the project.

Le public cible concerné est constitué des élèves en lisière de la fin de l'obligation scolaire. Il s'agit de voir dans quelles mesures les aptitudes communicationnelles en général et les compétences linguistiques en particulier influent sur le cursus scolaire et la préparation professionnelle. Partant de l'hypothèse que cette zône de la communication est précisément celle où se jouent bon nombre des scénario entraînant des occurences scolaires dont les conséquences risquent de se prolonger durablement, il devrait être possible de définir des principes et des moyens d'interventions appropriés aux situations idéentifiées.

The course is intended to last a week and will be composed of several modules; the course will be open to 14 to 18 heads as participants. Pilot training materials will be developed during the first year and these will be tested during a trial run of the course towards the end of the 1st year. The results of this trial run will in the 2nd year help to finalise the approach and contents of the course. During the second year the in-situ in-service training course will be turned into modules available through ODL, Opena and Distance Learning means.. Finally the project also hopes to produce an international bibliography on the topic of selfevaluation of schools. The methodology to bring about this course will be based on action-research and will foresee a follow-up including networking between participants by using internet. It is hopes that the European in-set course will thus: a) provide an European overview of evaluation systems of schools, b) encourage an exchange of experiences, c) increase awareness of self-evaluation techniques, d) train participants in the use of selfevaluation instruments and e) design training materials and tools useful for future activities also through ODL.

This project takes into account that our society is moving towards a process of European integration and this process will occur only through respecting other local cultures. Agorà is understood as a place where men and women can compare ideas, participate in political discussions and can contribute in cultural debates. Through the use of information technology the project intends to create a virtual piazza of the European Community. This is motivated by the necessity to reinforce the following elements through teacher training: (1)Knowledge of the local historical environment; (2) the capacity to use the telematic communicative and informative resources; (3) knowledge of the differences and similarities of other urban European contexts; (4) knowledge of the EU programmes; (5) enable the teachers to learn to socialise and to publish all the didactic and cultural research that they produce so that other schools can benefit from it. The target groups for this project are teachers from primary schools and lower and upper secondary schools in Bari, Paris and Madrid, namely from towns in the three partner countries. This project is a biannual one.

Formazione in servizio sui linguaggi dell'integrazione teatrale. DESCRIPTION: The project ''LA SCENA DEI SOGNI. Formazione in servizio sui linguaggi dell’integrazione teatrale'' or ''The Stage of Dreams. In-service training on the languages of theatre integration'' is a project involving organisations from four countries (I, DK, E, UK) which intends to develop and test a pedagogical model for the training of teachers and other staff working in the field of special needs education. Such model is to be based on the use of drama as a means of expression and communication as a means of enhancing educational opportunities for children in special education. The project will be organised in three stages. The first stage will consist of the exchange and comparison of current pedagogical practice and materials as developed by the different participating organisations. The second stage will achieve the development and testing of the model at local, regional or national level. The third stage will be dedicated to the preparation of a cd-rom and videos documenting the model and the experience. The project hopes to disseminate the outcomes on the one hand through the possible organisation of an in-service training course within the framework of action 3.2. and on the other hand through the European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education.

DESCRIPTION: The project ''PER UNA SCUOLA DELL’ORIENTAMENTO IN EUROPA'' or ''For a Guidance Education in Europe'' deals with the introduction of pedagogical approaches in compulsory education aimed at providing pupils with the capabilities required to make decisions concerning their personal and professional development. Specifically, the project focuses on the ''learning to learn'' capability and on project-oriented pedagogies, that are intended to prepare pupils to plan education/training and professional careers in a context of self confidence. Within this context the project wants to focus especially on the following transversal competencies and skills: the ability of building relationships, the capacity of critical thinking and reflection, the taking up of responsibilities and the belief in oneself and self-esteem. Activities - over a period of two years - will include the comparison of practice and approaches developed in the countries involved (I, E, F, DK), the joint development of educational materials for teachers and the trial run of experiments in schools to validate the methodologies developed. The project’s outputs will consist of an interactive cd-rom and textual supporting materials and possibly also of an in-service training within the framework of action 3.2. of Comenius.

This suggested that while there are many materials of good quality, most are not used even where they have been paid for. The specific aim is therefore to train teachers on how to deal with such themes. It does not create new materials - rather it deals with how to make better use of existing ones through a solid, systematic training programme for teachers and an expansion of teacher training activities throughout Europe. The starting point of the project will be the draft in a questionnaire which will be sent to teacher training institutions, and the results discussed at an Amsterdam meeting in autumn 1998. The subsequent results will form the basis for a course proposal which will again be the subject of a meeting of partners. The modified proposal will then be translated and published, together with a list of recommended literature and resources. In later years a course will be developed and provided for teachers across Europe. A web-site will be created to enhance dissemination and communication between teachers and teacher trainers within a large network.

Contentwise the scheduled in-service training courses concern previously tested methodologies for enhancing the quality of environmental schools concerning twxo aspects. the first apsect is the environmental care and the second one is teaching students the extent to which social action contexts influence and determine people's actions, however without individualising and without a moralistic/environmentalist approach. This Socrates application derives from an existing research project between the partners. It proposes to develop 2 teacher training courses based on existing materials in the area of environmental education. It will instruct participants how to improve environmental quality in their schools through particular measures to enhance school management and subject teaching. In addition to the outcome of performing actually teacher training courses the project will deliver two other products: a) an instruction guide for teacher trainers and b) a collection of the curricular materials as used during the courses possibly on floppy disk and/or on CD ROM.

As such the project wishes to investigate a theoretical basis for the model, develop modules and materials for implementing the model, devise a format for INSET delivery particularly appropriate to the model and finally deliver the INSET itself. The basic rationale for the project is a concern that what is taught by teachers is not always effectively learnt by pupils.Therefore the concern of this project is to develop an approach to the teaching of mathematics that emphasises understanding and differentiation according to ability with particular attention paid to the needs of the lesswell able students. As such project development is based on constuctivist theory, situated cognition, and subjective experiences. The approach to project development is one of action research through teams of teachers in each of the participating countries. A three year project- planned outcomes are two publications of project findings in both theoretical and applied forms, a teachers' handbook, the setting up of a www site and INSET training courses.

Le projet fera aussi appel à des enseignants et d'autres membres du personnel chevronnés dans le domaine de la création de projets de coopération transnationale dans les établissements scolaires. Le projet espère donc former par cette formation continue des promoteurs Comenius pouvant exploiter à fond tout les innovations pédagogiques et didactiques mises à la disposition des écoles par la création de tels projets européens. L'interdisciplinarité aura un rôle clé dans la formation continue. création projets action E Lingua et Action 1 Comenius - interdisciplinarité - internet COORDINATOR: STADTSCHULRAT FÜR WIEN Auerspergstraße 15/22 A-1080 WIEN Phone: +43/1/525.25.77.082 Fax: +43/1/403.44.27 Email: CONTACT: Christine SCHILLER PARTNERS: • • • • • • HASTINGS COLLEGE OF ARTS AND TECHNOLOGY, GB TAMPEREEN YLIOPISTO, FI SCUOLA MEDIA STATALE G GALILEI, IT SKOLSKY URAD BRNO, CZ MPI - KÖZGYULESENEK ELNÖKE, HU METODICKE CENTRUM MESTA BRATISLAVY, SK REFERENCE: 40992-CP-2-98-1-AT-COMENIUS-C31 TITLE: GUGIE - Growing UP Gifted In Europe DESCRIPTION: Le projet 'Growing up in Europe gifted - grandir en Europe en utilisant ses talents (artistiques) ''vise à développer une formation continue pour des enseignants afin de leur permettre de mieux 'exploiter' toutes les possibilités de l'éducation artistique et esthétique. Cette formation continue devrait permettre à des enseignants et à d'autres membres du personnel de faire découvrir aux élèves tout le potentiel artistique et créateur dont ils sont porteurs eux-mêmes. Les objectifs de ce projet sont: a) la conception, le développement et la réalisation de ce que le projet appelle ''Art and Architecture Bookmobiles'', c'est-à-dire des collections de matériel mobile de toute sorte focalisant sur l'art et l'architecture:des livres, des CDRoms, des diapositives, des jeux éducatifs prenant comme point de départ l’architecture et l’art, b) la conception, le développement et la réalisation de ce que le projet appelle ''Activity Boxes for Children'' (des ateliers- boîtes - mobiles pour des élèves avec un matériel didactique ayant pour objectif de stimuler la créativité des enfants), c) le développement d’autre matériel didactique innovant sur CD-Rom qui sera également disponible sur Internet et d) la conception, le développement et la mise en oeuvre d'un cours de formation continue permettant à des enseignants et d'autres membres du personnel de se familiariser et de travailler avec les outils pédagogiques mentionnés ci-dessus. Les formations continues concrètes dans le cadre del'Action 3.2. de Comenius sont annoncées pour plus tard, probablement à partir de la 2ème ou 3ème année; elles insisteront fortement sur la créativité des enseignants afin de stimuler la créativité des élèves.

This project is undertaken by a partnership of four in-career education providers working together with local schools and higher education institutes. The target group for this three year project is, therefore, not only primary school teachers and pupils in these rural areas but also the local, rural community. Particular content areas to be investigated cover the organisation of learning within the rural school, communication between rural schools and the development of schoolbased local resources. Specific focus areas can, therefore, be identified as exchanging new methods in teaching multi-age groups, developing learning through ODL and NIT and developing the idea of schools as local education centres. The main first year outcome is an INSET course based on the year's transnational and local work. The main project outcomes to be achieved by the end of the project's three years will be a handbook entitled 'Small schools in Europe', a video , a CD Rom and a www site.

The project has been devised by staff development units at national and provincial levels in FI/UK/IE and PO against a background of inequalities in the educational world, particularly in schools. Although in the majority in most sectors of education, women are still in a small minority where managerial posts are concerned. By targeting teacher trainers, the project hopes to influence the environment in which teachers work and the way in which they are trained to facilitate access to management by women. There will be three phases in the project, the first to develop networks and the exchange of experience and materials, the second to begin producing a video and CD-Rom and to begin planning teacher courses to take place in the third phase at the same time as the publication of a handbook on women in education in Europe.

The main objectives of the project are : a) to enhance awareness of dyslexia problems in all the Member States of the European Union and in other European countries, b) to see to it that teachers and other members of the educational staff get a deeper understanding and c) to enhance European co-operation in this field starting from comparative studies which the participants to the in-set courses will make; these comparative studies will be based on the work of the participants with dyslectic pupils. It is the intention to give to the participants at the en of the course a (European!) Certificate of Advanced Professional Studies, CAPS that equals 2 units of a Masters degree. The in-wet course will be partly in situ courses or conatct courses but also courses using Open and Distance Learning means such as electronic conferencing and new information technologies such as is done within open university based in-set courses. It is thus hoped that participants will acquire the necessary skills to work with dyslexic children and to make within this framework specific and expert usage of new technologies and multimedia.

The aim of the project is to develop in-service training courses for members of educational staff focusing on methods for multicultural and multireligious education within the school and also within basic adult education. The intention is also to do research on and to gather documentation on teaching methods and ideologies within intercultural, interreligious and multicultural education. The project furthermore intends to develop methods and material that visualise and strengthen the status of minorities and that create and enhance intercultural understanding; it is also hoped that the methods and materials developed will facilitate the bringing about of a dialogue and will make available comparative knowledge on other religions and on views of life which will help to strengthen one's own identity. The taget group is teachers and all other members of staff interested in intercultural and interreligious education. The project is scheduled to last three years: the first year will focus on action-research, the second year will be used to develop the European in-service training course and the third year will be used to writing out the course material and disseminating it as largely as possible. Thus the key aspects of the project will be: research activities and gathering of information on religious education aspects and methods for a multicultural and multireligious education. The project will result in several documents, in an European in-set course and in the inset course material which will be produced.

It starts with a large seminar in Portugal to define the parameters for the project and the course training materials, and then applies them to schools in the partnership localities. The project will contribute to an increase in research possibilities for women, as the target group is teachers in early years education. Educational methods in Art and Movement, both containing cross-cultural and gender elements, will be identified and mapped with particular attention also which will be paid to the European dimension. National and transnational networks of teachers interested in using modern information technology for contributing to a continuing debate on social inclusion and gender issues in Europe will be initiated. Schools will be involved in the project possibly through Action 1 EEPs of Comenius. It is a three year project which will ultimately be described on the web and distributed to other institutions of education.

The specific objectives of the project thus are: a) identify and describe patterns of underachievement in pupils aged 9-11 in the partner regions, b) to collect data relating to underachieving, especially case study materials of successful strategies to do something about underachieving, c) to use the data and case studies as a basis for locally based seminars leading to an action 3.1. course, d) to run an international 3.2. course, e) to develop materials from 3.1 and 3.2 which can be used as a basis for dissemination and as a resource pack for teachers. and f) to disseminate the end results of the programme through publications and linked series of national confernces. The project identifies the teacher and the system as the main reasons for underachievement rather than the pupil and the materials to be developed would recommend new pupil-teacher relationships within a Lifelong Learning framework. Seminars and workshops are also planned, both as a part of the project and for teachers in the locality of the project partners. Target populations cover all people in the Education service with a responsibility to improve knowledge of, and action for improving, underachievement in schools for pupils aged 12 to 19.

It will also develop resources and materials to implement such practice on a local level and achieve mutual understanding of literacy and increased knowledge of ways of addressing these. the target group consists of European teachers teaching literacy skills to children from the age of five to twelve. The result of the project will be the dissemination of theory, and findings of teaching strategies by a scientific study, by documented exchange of good teaching practice, by arranging seminars and by developing an European in-service training course for teachers and heads. The project takes a wider view of literacy than simply reading and writing skills and invokes the idea that family learning and the use of computers are an essential part of improving literacy. The project will implement the use of information technology communication between participants, by using e-mail and by creating web sites. In all forms of publication the three languages of the project will be used viz. English, Portuguese and Swedish.

European teacher education course to implement and disseminate the results achieved by the CLIP project over the period of 1994 till 1997. The CLIP project focuses on Co-operative learning in Intercultural projects and it is based on the theories of Complex Instruction (CI) (status treatment in heterogeneous classrroms) and the multiple intelligences theory. The intention is that the European in-set course will enable teachers: a) to organise co-operative learning activities in their classrooms in such a way that it meets the criteria for intercultural education and b) to use the different skills and knowledge of their students in a construtive way in order to improve the learning results of students. One of the main findings the present CLIP method is based on is the fact that Cooperative Learning as developed in the Complex Instruction improves the quality of learning and the outcomes for the students who are at risk. The target groups of the project are teachers both in primary and secondary education and teacher educators. The expected result will be a training module and a training manual for teacher training courses for teachers and teacher trainers. The project hopes to enhance dissemination of its outcomes within the countries involved in the CLIP project; it also intends to use the internet and to co-operate for dissemination with another important NGO called EFIL, the European Federation for Intercultural Learning). It is hoped that the project will contribute to bring about 'equitable classrooms' which means that teachers will be trained to work in heterogeneous groups and make sure that all pupils (including handicapped children, children at risk because of their social and cultural backgrounds) have equal access to the learning process.

Teaching staff that try to meet their particular educational needs have identified a gap in their knowledge and professional expertise in addressing their intermittent pupils. This project aims to develop appropriate differentiation in the school systems which support the individual needs of interrupted learners. They will try to identify principles in policy and practice which enable schools to support learners out of school. They will interview teachers, pupils and families to get more information and develop a few Case studies in each state.

This project builds on two initiatives funded by DGV in 1993 and 1994 which looked at identifying examples of good practice in school-based intergenerational work. The rationale for this 3-year Comenius Action 3.1 project is that successful intergenerational learning is largely dependent on effective facilitation by teachers in the classroom who require an understanding of the theoretical and practical approaches involved. This project will, therefore, develop an Intergenerational training programme for delivery at the end of each of the project's three year life-span.This course will be developed for both teachers and teacher trainers.

It is believed that no such European course presently exists in other European Union countries and that the project partners can thus develop a model to be widely used in several Member states and other eligible countries. The activities of the project will start by using modules developed in the UK for the Royal National Institute for the Blind by the University of Plymouth, assesses their suitability for Romania and Holland with teachers and trainees and translate them accordingly in Dutch and Romanian. The methodology the project will be based on is participatory learning focusing on the active involvement of the learners. A Train the Trainer cascade process is used in the two recipient countries. Arrangements are also in hand to accredit the programme in Romania. The project already has links with Action 1 EEPs, European Educational Partnerships of COMENIUS. The project coordinator is linked to a large UK network called OPSIS, which is the National Association of Independent organisations for the blind and visually impaired children. Internal and external evaluation of the project activities and outcomes are scheduled. At the end of the third year the project is to organise a major conference to disseminate largely the outcomes.

It is planned for three years and cooperates closely with a Comenius Action 1 project in which an EEP will be set up between six schools- two in each country - all teaching ''Future studies'' in selected classes. The project provides an opportunity for the teacher trainers to compare the impact of a European dimension in their courses, especially at an in-service training level, and- by working with schools in the EEP- to be able to examine the practical, theoretical and technical issues involved in achieving this. During the first year 1) the staff from each of the partner institutions will work with selected local teachers doing ''Future studies'' with their classes and assisting them in linking with similar classes in the partner countries via email and internet, 2) the partners involved in the project will meet three times during the first year in order to compare data and experiences in the teaching of ''Future studies'' and seeing how the European dimension fits in respective school curricula and teaching styles and 3) the project will set up a trinational in-service course for teachers to examine the future for teaching in schools, especially focusing on the technology involved and developing a range of resourses: teacher guides, videos a CD Rom etc. for dissemination. The project has developed out of a previous ERASMUS project. Keywords: European dimension- ''Future studies''- in-service training- primary schools.

The outcome will be a basic ODL course on the educational use of the internet. It is also the intention to link local and regional education authorities to institutions of higher education in different countries to exchange knowledge in the field of education and thus to enhance cooperation between higher education and partners in the local community. The project will also establish web pages. In terms of pedagogical methodologies the project deals with project work of which the objective is to enhance active learning and teaching and it also deals with the pedagogical use of NIT as a means of communication and cooperation between teachers/children within specific projects using new information and communication technology. Meetings will be held in Prague and these will include a workshop for teachers on the uses of ITC. Course development takes place between meetings and as a result of them. The project includes Norway (coordinator), UK, Denmark and the Czech Republic. It is hoped that the project will lead to an European in-service training course in the third year of its activities.

Dans un pays où l'environnement a été sacrifié pendant des années le seul moyen d'améliorer la situation est de former les enseignants pour que les élèves puissent ensuite gérer eux-mêmes les problèmes et contribuer en tant que citoyens actif (au niveau national et européen) au développement d'une société durable. Le projet transnational insistera surtout sur les approches pédagogiques innovantes et actives dans ce domaine. Le partenariat associe des formateurs de pays où ce problème a déjà été pris en compte et qui pourront aider leurs collègues à se former eux-mêmes; un des objectifs est de former un groupe d'une trentaine de personnes en Hongrie qui seraient des promoteurs clé pour l'éducation à l'environnement et la dimension européenne. Le projet devrait déboucher sur l'organisation d'un séminaire de formation continue dans le cadre de l'Action 3.2. et sur la production de matériaux pédagogiques appropriés (vidéo,CD ROM,publications écrites) à l'intention des enseignants intéressés.

To meet the objective, the project wants to set up an ''European secondary school cabinet'' capable of introducing the European dimension in the behaviour of young generations. This will be done by giving information on history, institutions and structure of the European Union, by making young people ,aware of the problems which may appear in the process of integration of Romania and other countries in the EU and by devising specific activities in which young people at school can be involved as active citizens. The project is supposed to last 3 years and the product will be a booklet entitled ''The real meaning of being a European young citizen'' which will focus on values education, on the status and the responsibilties of European citizenship, on the dangers of narrow nationalistic views, on tolerance towards ethnic minorities and groups such as homosexuals, gypsies etc. It is hoped that this booklet could be the basis of an European in-service training seminar or for a course to be used in in-service training of all teachers across Europe but especially in Romania and other Central and Eastern European countries which have to face the same challenges.
