DIGITAL FIRST Partners at Work: Stepping Up Research on the Current State of Informatics Education in European Schools
The DIGITAL FIRST partner met for their regular monthly online meeting on the 25th of April to review the project’s progress.
The highlights of the meeting were the administrative overview, research activities, and dissemination tasks.
Maja Šarić from Algebra University reviewed the progress of the project tasks and deliverables across different work packages, alongside administrative and financial management updates as the project coordinator.
Odeta Šapelytė from Vilnius University, leading the field research activities to understand the current state of informatics education in European schools, presented the status on the survey and focus groups, exchanging information with all partners.
One of the project’s key initiatives is an online survey designed for informatics teachers and interdisciplinary educators. The online survey is available in English, Bulgarian, Croatian, Finnish, Greek, Lithuanian, Slovenian, Portuguese and Spanish.
In the coming months, DIGITAL FIRST partners will launch focus groups in various European countries. These focus groups will engage teachers, educators, parents, NGO representatives, local authorities, and students to collect their insights and experiences related to informatics education.
The meeting concluded with Selin Tagmat from ALL DIGITAL outlining communication and dissemination strategies. These efforts will include website updates, social media engagement, newsletter content, and audiovisual production to raise awareness about the importance of informatics education and share project experiences with stakeholders.
Stay tuned for more updates on our progress!
