Objectives

  • Our overall objective is to improve students’ results and teachers’ performance in the classroom and to create a resource bank for teaching metacognitive strategies to pupils.
  • The objectives that we will address for teachers are;
  • Adopt new methods and tools to implement feedback and metacognitive techniques in planning and carrying out teaching and dealing with challenging classrooms situations.
  • The objectives that we will address for students are:
  • Teach students metacognitive strategies for learning such as;
  • Setting learning goals and plans to achieve them.
  • Learning different techniques for problem solving, reading comprehension, critical thinking.
  • Focus selective attention and optimize working memory
  • Monitoring their own learning progress.
  • Learning strategies for self- monitoring and learning with peers.
  • Transferring metacognitive strategies to other areas in life.

The Danish mobility from a Danish perspective

Image
In the period from February the 2nd until February the 8th Trekløverskolen in Kjellerup, Denmark hosted the first mobility in the Erasmus-project – Master. Metacognitive Thinking Activities and Strategies for Teaching and Educational Results. Prior to the week a lot of different planning had taken place. The theme for this first mobility was to set Life Goals. In Denmark, we were positive surprised by the fact that many students wanted to participate in the project. We held a parents and students meeting where we introduced the project.  After that meeting we started putting host and students together. The students made their first contact, and before the arrival on the 2nd everyone had had their first contact. Finally, after a lot of preparation and excitement it was the 2nd of February. The groups from the different countries arrived to Kjellerup at different times. The Spanish group and the Finnish group arrived nearly at the same time to the airport in Billund. Th

The second meeting in Denmark. From 2 nd to 9 th February  6 students from 2 nd ESO and 2 teachers from CCE Virgen del Pasico, Torre-Pacheco, took part in the second meeting of our Erasmus+ project in Kjellerup skole, Kjellerup, Denmark. These are the students views of their  Danish experience: My experience in the Erasmus Project has been very important because I have met a lot of people and I have learned about another culture, another way of life. I have visited many places in another country and I have really enjoyed seeing how I could learn many things in a week living in another country, but they were not maths or Spanish language and literature, they were things of life because as I said in one of the activities of Lego,it is that a future is built by studying but above all day by day, enjoying these little things and of course living each day to the maximum. This is what I have taken from the Erasmus meeting. Natalia Sánchez García Las tweek I w

DESCRIPTION

  The idea of this project was born when we tried to improve students’ learning. In all our schools we noticed that a large fraction of our students regardless of background, lacked confidence in their own academic performance, had problem to focus their attention and gave up as soon as some resistance occurred and therefore had very limited academic success. We wanted to find a way to teach our students to overcome these obstacles. Pedagogical research has shown that the highest impact factor on school learning is the quality of the teacher and what the teacher does in the classroom (these factors having much higher impact than variables such as class size, homework, etc). Furthermore here is strong evidence that great teachers are made not born; this means there  is great scope for improving learning by adopting the most effective classroom techniques. The US Education Endowment Foundation in reviewing empirical studies found that feedback from teachers to students and metac
