PROJECT RELEVANCE<\/h6>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The most important activity for students at school is learning. It determines how students evaluate themselves and perceive others, and essentially determines how successful they will be in adulthood. Therefore, it is very important to give children opportunities at school to take a closer look at their own learning process and that of their friends, and to create an environment where they can safely analyze and overcome learning difficulties. This will help them to better understand themselves and others, learn to tolerate diversity, focus on meaningful activities, and help and accept help.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a lot of research data proving that mutual assistance among students has a positive effect on school life: there are fewer late arrivals, fewer missed classes, and fewer dropouts. Students’ social and self-control skills and learning outcomes improve.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For Lithuanian schools, this is a new form of learning that requires new skills in organizing educational activities, reflecting on the learning process, and collaborating.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mutual assistance among students in learning is organized with the understanding that learning failure is one of the factors contributing to school absenteeism, and efforts are made to overcome the causes of this phenomenon rather than the consequences of school avoidance. This activity brings the school community together, as it involves cooperation between students from different classes, their parents, and teachers. It also promotes the consolidation of democratic attitudes, as the results of this learning are publicly visible and discussed. Undoubtedly, this method of learning promotes the achievement of strategic educational goals: fostering a supportive civil society and reducing social exclusion. What is new is that it seeks to mobilize the internal resources of the school community to overcome learning gaps, and the most active participants in these processes are the students themselves. However, they need methodological guidance from teachers and the support and assistance of parents and peers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An active student position is a desirable goal for Lithuanian schools, which is pursued by introducing collaborative learning, active teaching methods, fostering critical thinking, and implementing a concept of student progress and achievement assessment that focuses on improving students’ ability to self-assess and set learning goals. It would be great if students, by helping each other, could understand the benefits of these methods and learn how to use them in practice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

New methods and ideas usually reach schools in the form of shorter or longer projects. This project is one of many. It is new in that it draws attention to a pressing problem: learning gaps and how to overcome them by pooling the internal resources of the school community. It also draws attention to the organization of the educational process, where overcoming learning gaps has not been given the necessary attention until now.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

PROJECT AIM<\/h6>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The project aimed to involve school communities in peer and cross-age tutoring activities, promoting the idea of learning to learn as the main accelerator towards the goal of inclusive education.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
