Run by: mgr Anita Jagun (Szkoła Doktorska UJK)
During the workshops, the participants will learn about selected digital tools that teachers can use at every stage of education. The applications will be discussed in the context of language education, but their versatility enables teachers of various subjects to use them on a regular basis.
Mentoring model for beginning teachers – Digital TA platform in action
room 116
Run by: Prof. Thomas Andre Prola (Universidad Europea del Atlántico, Spain)
The workshop is focused on the DigitalTA platform presentation, highlighting the reflective methodology used in transnational virtual interactions, but also the detected training needs of novice teachers and students in transition to the teaching profession.
Live work on the platform in work groups is proposed to all participants, for the creation of case studies thanks to the reflective methodology.
Alternative Assessment Methods as a Way to Increase Student Motivation and Responsibility in the Learning Process
room 218
Run by: mgr Katarzyna Pelc (Zespół Szkół im. Julisza Verne'a w Kielcach)
I will present a variety of assessment methods that I use in my professional practice. I will focus on techniques such as project assessment, portfolio, self-assessment and peer assessment that not only engage students but also support their personal development. I invite participants to an active discussion and question-and-answer session to share experiences and ideas for effective assessment.
Writing an educational research paper for an English language journal
room 214
Run by: prof. Pete Boyd
This practical workshop will focus on writing a high-quality educational research paper for an English language journal. It is primarily aimed at doctoral research students and early career academics but it may also be of some interest and value to more experienced research supervisors and researchers. It covers key characteristics, from an experienced journal reviewer and editor, of high quality educational research papers in general.
Workshop detailed description
Paper for reading
A journey with Lucia: Fostering dialogue and inspiring plurality, equity, and inclusiveness
room 203
Run by: Prof. Lea Ferrari, University of Padova, Italy
Children's literature is a powerful resource that teachers can use to foster transformative discussions on a variety of topics. Increasing awareness about disability and promoting positive attitudes are essential steps toward achieving equity and inclusivity in increasingly diverse school environments.
This workshop was developed at the University of Padua as part of the Green Dialogues project. Coordinated by the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, the project involves the University of Padua and the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya. Its goal is to enhance teacher education and equip future educators with the skills to address global and environmental challenges using multidisciplinary and dialogic approaches.
Inspired by Roger Olmos' picture book Lucia, this workshop engages participants in an interactive and enjoyable experience designed to deepen their understanding of disability. Encouraging reflection on attitudes toward disability and exploring strategies to foster positive responses among both teachers and students are key to creating a more inclusive and supportive learning environment for all.
