<< Background >>The school subjects were influenced in different scale by the switches between online and in-person education. Compared to the lessons mainly based on reception of information and development of understanding such as natural sciences or requiring presenting a written solution such as mathematics, the humanitarian lessons were deeply affected by the limitations in the interactions among students and the teachers. In this way, many taught subjects such as native language, literature, history, ethics, etc. were prevented from exercising necessary expression and communication skills of students within interactive discussions. Such forced students` position of passive listeners caused decline in their motivation for study and decreasing the commitment during the lessons. Furthermore, the ongoing process of alternating online and in-person education continue to devaluate students‘ engagement because of changes in periods of low activity in home sessions and periods of active presence in classrooms. In this regard, it is necessary to implement an approach to increase commitment of students by acknowledging them with the importance of their expression skills on humanitarian topics for their future career, and by observing and reflecting on their behaviour in class.Active discussions and class interactivity develop students’ social skills, positive behaviours, and capabilities— all those crucial for future citizens. Students need a supportive surrounding and a safe learning environment in which they can socialize and build communication and expression skills. In a virtual classroom, it is extremely difficult, or even impossible to monitor, nor to give the tutor an adequate assessment of the level of motivation to the student. Therefore, there is the need of development of new indicators, accustomed both to real and virtual classrooms, which could help the tutor monitor and raise the level of motivation of the students.The project is oriented to the following needs:- To address the negative impact of the simplified conversation through online platforms very often leading to monologue lecture and preventing multidirectional share of views thus making the students passive listeners for long time.- To address the impossibility for asking embarrassing questions and to remove the false sense of mastery of the situation with the students when everyone responds in a one-by-one mode and has sufficient time to consider the answer.- To address the scarcity of suitable digital devices or stable Internet connection faced by disadvantaged students by adapted appropriate exercises and off-line sections.- To raise the students’ level of motivation and responsiveness by minimizing cases where they stay anonymous behind their switched off cameras and microphones thus making them more socially sensitive and responsible.- To express the continuity of the online classes with traditional ones in terms of active participation and commitment.<< Objectives >>The project envisages two areas of interventions. The first one concerns development of communication and expression skills done within humanitarian lessons. Education process is not limited to only transfer of knowledge, but it is also a comprehensive social process that allows students to learn through interactions with their teachers and peers. The second intervention is oriented towards improvement of monitoring students’ level of engagement and raising commitment. In classrooms, tutors often can closely monitor a student’s level of motivation by their participation, attention to the subject, and extent of distraction. On contrary, during online teaching this was hampered.The general project objective is to address deficiencies during online education in terms of developing communication and expression skills within humanitarian school disciplines focusing on disadvantaged students falling behind and getting them closer to their peers.The specific objectives are:- Provision of guiding materials for students adapted to those with poor skills.- Equipping teachers with applicable pedagogical approaches and supporting thematic sets.- Raising attractiveness and efficiency of the training on humanitarian subjects by production of interactive and visualized elements.<< Implementation >>The planned activities are according to the Work Breakdown Structure of the project and will encompass:= Project management- General management of the project - Organization and hosting of transnational partner meetings- Internal information flow= Development of the Project ResultsPR1 Student`s Booklet about communication and expression skills on social topics and the linkage with future professional realisationPR2 Teacher` Handbook on observation and reflection techniquesPR3 Toolbox for observation and reflection in online and present education= Sharing and promotion activities, external communication and publicity measures= Quality assurance and evaluation- Quality of the elaborated training materials in methodological and content related aspects- Internal quality assurance in project administration aspect= Involvement of associated partners= Multiplier events = Activities towards exploitation and sustainability<< Results >>Besides the development of training materials as results, the project will:- Outline areas of intervention in concrete taught subjects and lessons in compliance with the existing formal curricula.- Address the lack of multi-directional interaction within the class and the teacher in online environment.- Introduce and pilot techniques for monitoring engagement and stimulating commitment.- Strengthen the aspect of educational inclusion among the targeted students with main focus on the disadvantaged ones in order to prevent falling behind.- Ameliorate the specific preparation of the students in need on humanitarian subjects and making it equal as much as possible of those not facing social or technical challenges compared to their peers.- Enhance the preparation for keeping commitment in switching in-person and online environment by teachers and students through introducing adapted measuring applications.- Provide tailor-made learning materials to improve social interaction aspects and specific skills and knowledge for future society oriented professionals.- Stimulate the school teachers and students to enter into contacts with people from abroad.- Establish multilingual online platform for exchange of knowledge, advice and feedback.- Strengthen the understanding and skills of students in areas such as multiculturalism, diversity, successful employment, active citizenship, social inclusion, equal opportunities and managing of personal change.- Support the diffusion of the offline lessons and self-study approach into mainstream educational programs concerning subjects related to public speaking and audience proficiency.- Provide support by business world and experts in social field towards raising motivation and outlining the perspectives for joining such fields by future graduates.- Stimulate exchange of views on obstacles in proper qualification on social and humanity subjects.
