ABOUT ENTREPRENEUR+

The project aims to develop a teaching methodology, providing online and offline tools in combination, but also provides cross-border networks and a student-teacher supporting system to have a solution on “how to” teach entrepreneurial skills and competencies in the VET.

We call this project Entrepreneur+, for it is referring to the m-learning based blended education methodology to be created in this project. The system will enable the students to learn following their personalized learning designed and continuously up-dated by a “smart” e-learing background-application supporting adaptive learning. Teachers will act more like “mentors”, supervising the learning process and paying personal attention to each student.

After creating this innovative methodology, we are going to test it in three countries (Hungary, Slovakia and Romania) in the frame of a pilot-training involving 60 students all-together (3-3 secondary vocational schools).

The electronic curriculum uses the language of the Z generation (born after 1995), its visual world, the wording, the imagery of the digital natives which would represent a further attraction to the students. The program provides training for teachers using the application, bringing them to a kind of methodological renewal. We hope to give them the feeling of a pedagogical renewal experience, as they will be involved in networking activities and creative work in m-learning curriculum development as well.

We hope that by the end of the project we can achieve the following effects:

– an increase in the motivation of the students towards learning;

– an increase in their knowledge and skills in the fields of entrepreneurship;

– burn-out prevention through the new method for the participating teachers;

– the promotion of the digital and adaptive methods in the schools.

All of the outputs of the project will be freely available on the project’s website. Also, the project’s dissemination will contain several events (workshops, conferences, etc.), because we do believe that ICT-techniques are the future.

We hope that project will promote this paradigm-shift in the educational policies too, and that our application will be used for various educational reasons therefore it will become a part of the action against digital illiteracy.
