- Improve teachers´ innovative digital skill across Europe: the role of IDEAS projectPublication . Afonso, Ana Paula; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Bidarra, José; Morgado, Lina; Rocha, Maria AntonietaThe Innovative Digital Education and Skills (IDEAS) ERASMUS+ project aimed to improve teachers' digital skills and competencies by directly responding to the EU's Digital Education Action-Plan (2021-27) Strategic-Priority 1. It involved the design of a 30-hour micro-credentialed teacher training course consisting of a digital toolkit with 14 bite-sized modules using adaptive learning models with the support of the IDEAS Mentors and implementing a pilot program that was tested and evaluated. To carry out the course's instructional design, a needs analysis was conducted based on a literature review and a baseline survey to assess teachers' strengths, weaknesses, and needs in implementing digital pedagogy. After identifying teachers' needs, specific content was conceived, designed, and made available on a platform that allows access to the knowledge society. The study showed four areas of digital competencies needing training, and a learner persona was profiled following a gap analysis of the 99 responses. This data informed a pilot program with 80 Vocational Education and Training and Higher Education teachers to test the functionality of the digital Toolkit, the e-learning platform, design, quality, and impact of the content. Data analysis indicates that participating teachers improved their digital competencies and facilitated innovative learning experiences in their practices.
- Innovative Digital Education and Skills (IDEAS)Publication . Morgado, Lina; Bidarra, José; Afonso, Ana Paula; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Rocha, Maria AntonietaO projeto IDEAS está focado no desenvolvimento de competências digitais dos professores através de um curso de formação de professores, oferecendo módulos microcredenciados que serão flexíveis e adaptados às necessidades de desenvolvimento profissional. Baseia-se no conceito de Desenvolvimento Profissional Contínuo, apoiado numa Comunidade de Práticas online. Um recurso relevante é o Guia de Boas Práticas do Professor, que tem como objetivo o desenvolvimento de competências digitais e abordagens pedagógicas adequadas. A natureza transnacional do projeto garante acesso a um alargado âmbito de competências digitais, podendo recorrer a abordagens de boas práticas e estudos de caso destacados por cada parceiro. Esta dimensão internacional, com parceiros do Reino Unido, Dinamarca, Malta e Portugal, inclui a experiência do LE@D e da Universidade Aberta na área do Ensino a Distância. A dimensão transnacional resultará num impacto, disseminação e exploração mais alargados, permitindo uma transferência eficaz de conhecimentos. Os resultados e recomendações decorrentes do projeto terão impacto nas políticas, práticas e sustentabilidade europeias.
- Project Erasmus + IDEAS: innovative digital education and skillsPublication . Bidarra, José; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Morgado, Lina; Afonso, Ana Paula; Rocha, Maria AntonietaThis project is being developed in response to a European-wide need to improve teacher digital skills and competences in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid move to a fully online or blended approach to teaching, learning and assessment. In addition, technological innovations in the area of teaching and learning are leading to new challenges as educational institutions learn to adapt to new pedagogical approaches and digital tools. So, this communication aims to present the Innovative Digital Education & Skills (IDEAS) Erasmus+ project, and help tackle the digital skills gaps across Europe. The project intends to build new tools and create a community of mentors, with the development of a Community of Practice on LinkedIn, where teachers can share best practice pedagogical approaches, culminating in a Best Practice Guide which will offer a step-by-step guide for developing digital competence in their specific education setting.
