Active Learning through Project-Based Education

This course is designed to help teachers enhance active learning in their classrooms through the use of project-based education. Project-based learning (PBL) fosters problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaboration while creating an active learning environment. According to Thomas (2000), PBL significantly increases students’ deep learning experiences and helps retain knowledge over time. Furthermore, Barron & Darling-Hammond (2008) emphasize the role of PBL in developing students’ social skills.

Course Methodology

The course is based on hands-on activities and group work, focusing on how to effectively implement project-based education and active learning techniques. Participants will create their own projects to experience how this method can be applied in their classrooms. The course includes both theoretical and practical components, supported by references from reliable sources such as the EU, OECD, and UNESCO.

Course Objectives

  • Teach participants the methods of project-based education.
  • Develop projects that actively engage students in the learning process.
  • Foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration skills through project-based education.
  • Integrate project-based learning strategies into classrooms in line with Erasmus+ priorities.

Learning Outcomes

  • Participants will acquire the skills to implement project-based education in their classrooms.
  • They will develop projects that actively engage students in the learning process.
  • Participants will enhance critical thinking and problem-solving skills through PBL.
  • They will apply digital tools to support project-based learning strategies.

Inclusive Classrooms: Educating Students with ASD and ADHD

This course aims to provide educators with inclusive strategies for teaching students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In alignment with the 2021-2027 Erasmus+ Programme’s priorities on inclusion and diversity, the course will help teachers manage classroom diversity and address the individual learning needs of students with ASD and ADHD through effective classroom management and teaching strategies.
Through hands-on activities, student-centered approaches, and cognitive-behavioral strategies, educators will learn how to better understand and support the learning processes of students with ASD and ADHD. Participants will also learn how to use various digital tools and classroom management techniques to meet the needs of these students.

Course Methodology

The course will be delivered using an activity-based, hands-on, and collaborative methodology. Educators will learn theoretical information about how to respond to the individual needs of students with ASD and ADHD, followed by case studies and classroom applications to practice these skills. Each day will include group work, role-playing activities, and creative problem-solving exercises to help educators improve their inclusive practices in the classroom.
Participants will also learn how to use digital tools, learning management systems, and assistive technologies to create effective learning environments for students with ASD and ADHD.

Course Objectives

  • To provide educators with inclusive learning strategies for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
  • To teach inclusive classroom management methods and student-centered approaches.
  • To support the learning processes of students with ASD and ADHD using digital tools and assistive technologies.
  • To promote inclusive classroom environments in alignment with Erasmus+ priorities.
