About the project & Project plan

  • Aims of the project

    Through the ML project, we aim to develop the following students' competencies and skills:- making use of aids and tools competence - IT included (math competence);
    - collaborative problem-solving competence (transversal competence);
    - oral interactive communication skills for presenting the research results in a foreign language;
    - oral scientific communication skills for presenting the research results in a foreign language;
    - written scientific communication skills for presenting the research results in a foreign language;
    - online collaboration skills;
    - metacognitive skills;
    - EN skills (for the FR students) and FR &EN language skills (for the RO students).
    Through the ML project, we also aim to support teachers to:
    - implement math research workshops for high-school students in a foreign language;
    - improve their ability to develop CLIL activities and lead transdisciplinary programs;
    - improve their teaching practices by cooperating with European colleagues.

    Work process

    The work process of the ML project includes:

    - math research topics are launched by professional researchers after being discussed with the teachers (FR) - Oct. 
    - students get a math research topic by choosing what they want to work on (RO & FR) - Oct. 
    - establishing the RO&FR students' research groups (RO&FR) - end of Oct. 
    - students work in groups for doing the research (RO&FR)- it includes online RO&FR communication, video conferences for sharing the research approach/ results among RO&FR students who research the same topic (RO&FR) - Nov. - March
    - teachers and professional researchers facilitate student research in each partner-school and in the online environment - it includes CLIL math workshops (RO&FR) - Nov. - March
    - RO&FR research-groups of students collaborate for preparing the oral&scientific communication of the research results (RO) - March - April
    - RO & FR research-groups of students collaborate for preparing the research article (FR) - May - June.

    Each school-year (2017-2018, 2018-2019, 2019-2020) we go through this work process.

    Video-Conferences

    Each school year we have at least 2 video-conferences/ research topic. For more information, have a look at the Video-Conferences page. 

    Assessment

    - collaborative problem solving competence - December / January  & May/ June 
    - making use of aids and tools competence - December / January  & May/ June 
    - oral skills for communication about the project results - after each event
    - written skills for communication about the project results - June 
    - project evaluation - June 

    Each school year we will use the same assessment tools in the same months.

    Expected results

    - Progress in the development of the students' skills&competences (making use of aids and tools competence - IT included, collaborative problem solving competence, oral interactive & scientific communication skills for presenting the research results a foreign language, written scientific communication skills for presenting the research results, online collaboration skills, metacognitive skills, EN language skills - for the FR students, and EN & FR language skills -for the RO students);
    - Research articles written in a foreign language by RO & FR students;
    - Public Twinspace;
    - Improvement of the delivery of the math research workshops in both partner-schools;
    - Development of math & foreign language teachers' skills in using CLIL approach in their teaching;
    - Development of students' and teachers' international competencies (openness, flexibility, listening orientation, transparency – exposing intentions, cultural knowledge).
