Fostering Students’ Interdisciplinary Competence through the Action-Oriented Approach and Collaborative Online International Learning

<< Objectives >>The project responds to the current need to incorporate interdisciplinary learning in education in order to prepare high school students and university students for real life and broaden their understanding of the world. It aims at providing teachers with learning materials with interdisciplinary content so that the teachers would not see time investment and lack of resources as major challenges and they would have resources of high quality ready to be used by them.<< Implementation >>The project contains activities related to different aspects of interdisciplinary learning. These include preparation of digital interdisciplinary learning materials of high quality, validation of materials in a unique international setting of COIL in which students and teachers of high schools and universities will collaborate, and creation of the virtual resource centre in which students and teachers will share their experience with interdisciplinary learning.<< Results >>Major project results will be four digital course books of interdisciplinary lessons which would interconnect the subjects of literature, art & culture, civic education and history. The newly designed materials will be validated in eight cohorts of COIL in which students and teachers of all partner institutions will be involved. The third major result will be the virtual resource centre where students and teachers will interact and share their knowledge.
