Anotácia:
Research has evidenced the adaptability and plasticity of our cognitive functioning and the constructive and interactive character of learning processes. Nonetheless, schooling practice often emphasises the use of static-type diagnostic tests by adopting an evaluation model to assess only the product of learning. This is particularly relevant for evaluating special educational needs (SEN). In these cases, static testing offers very limited information that centres on execution deficits. This information does not allow specific difficulties that students display while performing activities to be specified and scarcely helps to identify the optimising conditions of the learning process. Accordingly, an evaluation is not often linked to educational interventions to optimise development and learning. One of the main challenges of inclusive education in Europe consists precisely in providing teachers with tools and adaptive resources that serve as effective supports to care for the education of students with SEN. In line with this, teachers perceive that support materials are lacking, as is guided access to such material, which is one of the most significant weaknesses of education systems in relation to inclusive education. We believe it is most relevant to deal with this challenge by a transnational approach that contemplates quality education for all everyone and caring for diversity as the fundamental and shared principles of socio-education policies. To respond to this situation, the objective of this project consists of developing and validating a device for computerised dynamic assessment and optimisation of the executive functions in students with SEN derived from neurodevelopmental and learning disorders (C-DAOEF). Executive functions (EF) constitute a set of skills involved in controlling and regulating cognitive functioning that is determining factors for learning, flexible conduct adjustments, social functioning and academic success, especially in children with SEN. The C-DAOEF device will contemplate several levels of difficulty and graduated prompts related to each item. Its essential characteristic consists in the dynamic adaptation of these elements to the level of students’ progressive competence. The system will allow the sequence of performed actions and execution times. Its application will help obtain information about (a) the levels of difficulty shown while dealing with different activities; such as (b) the type and degree of support required to successfully solve them. The consortium that will develop and validate this tool is formed by six organisations. The UNIZAR Research Group (RG), which is the Project Coordinator, which will provide its experience related with computerised dynamic assessment (DA) and applied research in the field of EF, language and SEN. DYS-centrum, and the RGs of the Universities of Seville and Presov, which will contribute their experience in the research field and in intervening in neurodevelopment and learning disorders, and also in relation to implementing cognitive improvement programmes and DA models. CY.M.S. will contribute with its experience in designing materials in the specific area of mathematics. In the technology field, the Team of Research and Artificial Intelligence Applications of the University of Málaga will contribute its knowledge of constructing and implementing computerised adaptive testing. Finally, the Inthecity Project Development will contribute its experience in designing web platforms, and in designing games and interactive applications. The sequence of activities to be performed contemplates 1. Initially designing both the content and structure of assessment and intervention activities; 2. Establishing the graduated prompts system; 3. Designing the web platform with all its functionalities; 4. Computerising the set of items and designing interactive games; 5. The application and the initial validation; 6. Calibrating and assembling the items according to the results; 7. Configuring the C-DAOEF device; 8. Configuring the database to be used to record and store information. 9. Preparing the manual of application, and establishing diffusion channels and teacher training. The expected results should include designing games and activities for DA and optimising EF; a web platform with specific functionalities; software containing the C-DAOEF device; the database to allow professionals and researchers to make inquiries; the application manual and interpreting the results. The project offers high transfer potential according to the requirements detected in relation to the population group it addresses. The project intends to contribute to bringing about significant changes in assessment and intervention processes that, in turn, allow optimised learning. It is expected to particularly allow students with neurodevelopment and learning disorders to participate and learn by contributing to their socio-educational inclusion process.

Anotácia:
Projekt “EMP-Matematika“ je financovaný s podporou Európskej komisie v rámci programu Celoživotného vzdelávania v akcii Comenius (Lifelong Learning Programme – Action COMENIUS). Na jeho riešení sa podieľa 9 partnerov zo 7 partnerských krajín Európskej únie: Švajčiarsko, Nemecko, Španielsko, Grécko, Rumunsko, Slovensko a Veľká Británia. Projekt EMP-Matematika prináša inovácie v oblasti primárnej (parciálne aj nižšieho stupňa sekundárnej) edukácie a dáva možnosť ich prístupu pre všetkých učiteľov v Európe.
Cieľom projektu je rozvíjať inovatívne a kreatívne prístupy v edukácii takým spôsobom, aby vyučovanie a učenie sa matematiky a hudby bolo zaujímavejším, aby vychádzalo z výsledkov vlastného experimentovania a poznávania. Ďalším cieľom je zvyšovať a dynamizovať úroveň kvality a európskej dimenzie u učiteľov z praxe, ako aj učiteľov, ktorí do praxe práve vstupujú a majú možnosť absolvovať projektové tréningové kurzy. Súčasťou kurzov je testovanie nových aktivít a prístupov k vyučovaniu matematiky a hudobnej výchovy, vychádzajúcich z kurikula oboch predmetov v jednotlivých zúčastnených krajinách. Základnou myšlienkou nových prístupov je interdisciplinárny prístup k vyučovaniu a učeniu sa oboch učebných predmetov – rovnako matematiky ako aj hudby.
