ABOUT THE PROJECT

 Project title: The Future Professionals
 Project number: 2020-1-PL01-KA226-HE-095164
 Project leader:
Uniwersytet Ekonomiczny we Wrocławiu
 Project Partners: Global Education Services Eduko, Finland,
University of Pannonia, Hungary,
University of West Attica, Greece
 Implementation period: from 1st June 2021 to 30th September 2023
The problems that we are experiencing as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have exposed many weaknesses of the higher education system. In many cases, distance learning has been, and still is, poor. This is the result of the weakness of the system in three areas - hardware and equipment, the skills of academic teachers in using modern technologies and unethical behaviour of students in relation to attempts to verify their acquired knowledge and skills remotely. As part of the project, it is planned to develop a remote tool to assess the competency gap of students of selected fields of study. It will be possible by evaluating the level of their competencies in various areas and comparing it with the desired level for typical occupations in a given industry (the project assumed the development, in cooperation with experts, of a competency matrix for selected occupations and the use of multidimensional comparative analysis tools to compare the obtained results with the model). Another planned outcome will be a manual for academic teachers on the development and management of remote courses along with the creation of model courses for the indicated fields of study. The third outcome will be a modern tool enabling the remote assessment of knowledge and skills of students in a specific subject within the study program through the use of games, simulations and other modern solutions. The innovativeness of the application manifests itself primarily in the effective and efficient use of digitization to support the assessment of students’ competencies, the presentation of knowledge and reliable evaluation of skills acquired by students. The application is a mix of different experiences in the field of remote education of students which involves the use of good, reliable solutions in this area, mainly from Scandinavian countries (Finland). The knowledge of key importance for all planned solutions will be provided by the primary research. The tool for the comprehensive assessment of students’ competencies developed as part of the O1 will be useful in assessing the degree of attractiveness of last year students on the labour market. It will make it possible to identify competency gaps and propose possible actions to increase the level of selected competencies. The O2 result will provide attractive e-learning training for at least selected fields of study. Specific courses will be used in the formal education of students. However, more important seems to be the fact of improving the competencies of academic teachers in the field of remote tools and using them to make the prepared presentations more attractive and to conduct classes with students in remote conditions. We have high hopes for acquiring the skills to work and create things in “itslearning” environment, which is a learning management system making it possible to function perfectly in a remote world of students and their teacher. The O3 result will make it possible to evaluate students' knowledge and skills in remote conditions in a reliable way.

Third project meeting

On December 7-9, 2022 in Finland, at Kouvola Vocational Institute Ltd., Eduko, the third project meeting took place. Again, the meeting was attended by representatives of all partners, a total of 8 people.
During the meeting, the progress of work related to the development of the project results was summarized, the work schedule for the next months of the project implementation was established, and issues related to evaluation and dissemination were discussed. The participants of the meeting also visited the Utti campus, where they had the opportunity to test the simulators used during the training of helicopter mechanics.
During the visit to the Utinkatu campus, international activities and exchange programs at Eduko were presented.

Research under result 3

The Hungarian team started working on ideas that will be implemented in itslearning system at the stage of assessing the level of knowledge and skills of students. An initial set of criteria for the selection of verification methods has been developed. These criteria will be enriched after the desk research stage. Research tools for primary research were also prepared:
- In-depth interview scenario for students
- Group interview scenario for teachers

Second project meeting

On June 8-9, 2022, the second project meeting was held in Athens at the West Attica University. Again, the meeting was attended by representatives of all partners, a total of 11 people. During the meeting, the Project Leader summarized the results of the research conducted as part of result 1 (results of PAPI questionnaires and individual in-depth interviews) and proposed further steps necessary to achieve the result. The next part of the meeting concerned the second result of the project (Modern e-learning courses with training materials for academic teachers). The Finnish partner (responsible for developing the result) presented a summary of the activities carried out so far and plans for the next months of work. The Hungarian partner presented the current and future activities related to the development of the result 3 (Tool for remotely checking the learning outcomes of students).

Itslearning

The leader and the Hungarian and Greek Partners obtained licenses to use the itslearning didactic platform. In its implementation, the extensive experience of the Finnish Partner was used, which ensured the high quality of its use by preparing materials useful for new users. The Finnish partner, together with representatives of itslerarning, developed the stages of introducing academic teachers and administrators to use the platform. He conducted 2 pedagogical workshops for each group of teachers in 3 partner countries, 6 workshops in total.
