MOSAIC+ Person-centred resources

Migration remains high in Malta, Greece, and Italy. During the scholastic year 2018/2019, In Malta, students with a foreign nationality accounted for 12.1 % of the total students enrolled in pre-p...

We wanted to: - emphasize the importance for the educators to get to know different learning styles through Gardner’s multiple intelligences; - compile and create resources that enable the educators to provide content and process differentiated learning. This involves the educators’ skills in diversifying the curriculum and adopting different teaching methods - focus on holistic education by underlining the importance of soft-skills in formal education through game-based learning. - continue building on the existing educational platform by providing more resources to the educators as well as creating other sections specifically for the students that will enable them to continue their learning experience at home - provide educators with various pedagogical methods that will enhance their teaching skills in an intercultural setting; - focus on the creation of games which will give access to the educators to teach interpersonal skills through non-formal and interactive methods; - compile and create resources that enable the educators to provide content and process differentiated learning - focus on holistic education by underlining the importance of soft-skills in formal education through game-based learning

When it comes to concrete outputs and other results achieved throughout this project the following results has been achieved: 1. 24 educators (8 each from MLU, IAKE and ICS Amari-Roncalli-Ferrara) received training in Malta on learning styles and Multiple Intelligences in Month 3 of the project from experts in the area. 2. 24 educators (8 each from MLU, IAKE and ICS Amari-Roncalli-Ferrara) received training in Sicily on game-based learning and non-formal education in Month 14 of the project from experts in the area 3. We created a resource pack containing 48 different activities. This was the first result of this project. Educators were focusing on language learning and mathematics. For each of the academic subjects, they created 24 different activities. The activities were based on different teaching methodologies and were catalogued according to Gardner’s multiple intelligence. Thus, for each subject, under each intelligence, there were 3 activities compiled and/or created by the educators. Furthermore, each activity was adapted to basic or advanced learners 4. We created games to encourage game-based learning; this was the second result of this project. In their home teams, the educators, through the newly acquired skills designed games targeting the needs of their students. The main goal, while creating these games, was to emphasize the learning of soft- as well as encourage and facilitate language learning 5. The further development of the Mosaic educational platform. Technicians designed a new section in the platform targeting students. They also uploaded the resource-pack and the adapted games and included the information on the new partners and the Sicilian educational system 6. At least 250 persons attended the multiplier events organized in each country. The aim was to disseminate the project results and increase the visibility of the project and the resources created.
