Project coordinator Kretingos r. Vydmantai Gymnasium serves 368 students with 38 teachers. It aims to raise individuals who can keep pace with the developing and changing world, and for this purpose, it is a primary school which conducts various local projects and national eTwinning projects and provides educational content on Robot Science which contributes to the development of STEM skills. Despite all these studies, according to the data obtained from the pretest evaluation results, the rate of application of innovative teaching methods in our school is 40%. We aim to increase this rate with this project, which we prepared with the content of the exchange of good practices. In this context, in our project, which consists of 5 partner countries in total, we aim to increase the quality and efficiency of education and training, and to encourage creativity and innovation, including entrepreneurship at every stage of education and training which are among the Europe 2020 Educational Targets. And to reach those targets, we also aim to provide 21st century skills to students and to increase the rate of foreign language learning, and to increase the rate of participation in European school network activities, all of which are among the EU Benchmarks. Therefore, we have decided to work on innovative teaching methods with our stakeholders. From our project partners,- OU Dane Krapcev - Skopje (MK) is a primary school with 73 staff, serving 830 students aged 6-15. The school, which is very active in local and national projects, wants to increase the application rates of innovative teaching methods with this project.- Agrupamento de Escolas de Portela e Moscavide (PT) is a school with approximately 2555 students and 200 teachers. The school takes part in local and national projects and wants to increase the application rates of innovative teaching methods with this project.- TOKI Secondary School (TR) is a school that serves 767 students and has 49 teachers. The school, which is active in informatics projects, wants to increase the rate of innovative practices.- Srednja skola za informacione tehnologije (RS) is a private high school that offers its students a quality education in the field of information technology with 50 teachers. It is also active in eTwinning projects.As a result of our situation assessment with our stakeholders, it has been observed that the rate of application of innovative teaching methods in our schools is 50%.Project Objectives:- Increasing the rate of applying innovative teaching methods with an average of 50% to 70%,- Breaking prejudices about applying innovative teaching methods,- Realizing the importance of the Coding method, which is one of the tools used to teach students 21st century skills,- Organizing brainstorming, which is, nowadays, one of the most important tools for intellectual outputs, and its developed version, the 'hackathon' competitions, at schools according to the levels.Our project, which consists of 5 partners, will be implemented under the coordination of Lithuania. The eTwinning platform will be used in every stage of the application process of our project consisting of 5 transnational mobility and 21 local activities. Participants will be provided with information about Coding, simple programming, data structure and algorithm so that Coding technique can be integrated into the courses. They will be able to use coding as a teaching tool in areas such as Morality, Mathematics, Foreign Language, Natural and Social Sciences, and Art Education. The quality of education will increase with the application of these methods and techniques to be learned, and the methods and techniques experienced during transnational visits will allow participants to organize their educational environments with a more universal perspective and innovation. Participants will continue to take part in the European school network with the eTwinning projects they will continue to carry out after the project and catch the opportunity to update and share their knowledge.Schools as institutions will also have information about computational thinking and coding. Awareness will increase, students will develop a sense of cooperation and self-confidence. The development of advanced basic skills and cross skills such as advanced teaching tools, digital skills, competencies in foreign languages and communication will be assisted. The rate of applying innovative teaching methods will increase. In school - teacher - parent - student relationships, parents will be made a part of education. It will be ensured that innovative ideas will emerge and take part in the proactive education system. By also organizing 'hackathon' contests for teachers to create new educational materials, this application will be integrated into education. Project outputs will be open source on sites and dissemination platforms and will be enriched with further experience and feedback for 2 years following project completion.
