LEBIC is currently participating in Leonardo da Vinci Innovation transfer project GENEXIS |
|
|
|
that aims at
improving training and raising the education level of vocational
students in mathematics, physics and chemistry using the Information
Communication Technology (ICT) based Exercise Generation and Evaluation System,
increasing both the students’ motivation and interest in natural science
subjects and their competitiveness in the labour market. |
Reasons for implementing the
project
- There is a tendency in
Europe for rise in specialists of social sciences, but there is lack of specialists
of natural sciences and technologies.
- Low knowledge level of
pupils in subjects like mathematics, physics and chemistry.
Project
objectives
- Survey the educational systems and specific needs
for teaching mathematics, physics and chemistry in Latvia, Estonia,
Lithuania, Slovakia and United Kingdom.
- Adapt the Exercise Generation and Evaluation
System to these specific needs and translate it into the partner
countries’ languages.
- Promote the implementation of the new ICT-based
application in the vocational education systems of the partner countries.
- Increase students’ interest in natural science
subjects by familiarity with the attractive ICT-based tool.
- Lighten teachers’ daily work load of developing
and checking tests.
Target groups
- Students attending vocational education
institutions
The
statistics show that the knowledge level of vocational students in natural
science and mathematics is lower than in other schools, so there is a need for
tools and methodologies to stimulate and motivate the students to study these
subjects. - Teachers of vocational education institutions
Teachers of
mathematics, physics and chemistry tend to spend much of their time creating,
supervising and checking tests. One of the objectives of the project is to
optimize and automate this routine work so that teachers can provide individual
training for their students.
Project results
During the project has been developed the e-learning system GenExis that enables to learn mathematics, physics, chemistry, as well as any other subject in the virtual environment, it increases the students knowledge level, students motivation and interest to learn and helps to optimize teacher’s work.
This system has been developed to improve the efficiency of the educational process and the quality of knowledge assessment in mainstream schools, vocational schools, in universities and other higher educational institutions and in course providers organizations.
Project partners
5 countries and
overall 7 partners are working in collaboration
in order to implement the project including the
coordinator and project lead,
