As part of the strategy to increase and strengthen its European network, since December 2020 EAMHID is part of an amazing EU funded project called CORTTEX. This initiative aims at exchanging know-how to develop a large-scale training programme on employing novel teaching strategies, methods, technologies and knowledge in order to increase learner quality of experience, improve learning process and cognitive development. It aims to address gaps in training for people with learning difficulties in Greece, Romania and Belgium.
In particular, CORTTEX is a large scale initiative to develop, integrate and disseminate innovative educational strategies - enhanced learning methods and tools, to create new or inter-connect existing state-of-art cognitive teaching lessons and to build an European learning network platform that supports fast dissemination of learning content to a wider audience in a ubiquitous manner. CORTTEX focuses on employing novel teaching strategies, methods, technologies and knowledge in order to increase learner quality of experience, improve learning process and cognitive development, increase learning outcome.
The CORTTEX objectives are:
1) develop and deploy a set of new cognitive instruments involving multi-methods of learning and teaching;
2) develop, integrate, deploy and disseminate state of the art cognitive strategies (e.g. making mind maps, visualisation, association, mnemonics, using clues in reading comprehension, underlining key words, scanning, self-testing and self-monitoring) - enhanced teaching methodologies including cognitive gamification, cognitive problem-based learning addressed to users from kindergartens, primary schools and secondary schools;
3) build a large platform that links all stakeholders in education, enables content reuse, supports generation of new content, increases content exchange in diverse forms, develops and disseminates new teaching cognitive scenarios;
4) perform personalisation and adaptation for content, delivery and presentation in order to increase learner quality of experience and to improve learning process;
5) validate the platform impact and the effectiveness of the teaching cognitive scenarios in terms of user satisfaction and teaching experience. The validation will involve all major stakeholders in education area, from content providers, innovative idea creators, technology developers, associations, schools and teachers.
The objectives meet the needs of the target groups: at least 160 teachers and other professionals from pre-university education to be trained in developing cognitive curriculum and to apply neurodidactics.
The activities foreseen by the action are:
- A research on the perception and ideas related to current situation regarding the education of children with learning difficulties: teaching materials, curriculum, legislation. Also, the study will aim to identify the training needs of teachers, the structure of training, innovative pedagogical approaches for them, tools that teachers recommend to be included in learning content.
- An exchange of know-how, expertise and good practices between researchers, specialists and practitioners in the field of teaching, learning difficulties, management of challenging behaviors in children with special learning needs.
After one year of activity, we are happy to present the first version of the CORTTEX learning Platfrom available here
