      PROJECT RESULTS<\/h6>\n

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

      The project has been modified in the process of implementation taking into account needs and expectations of the participants, so just part of the objectives had been achieved.<\/p>\n

      While forming the group of the participants, representatives delegated by the universities had been invited and they committed to keep contacts with the administration of their institutions in the process of preparing the “University didactic” course. However, the delegated people either did not participate at all, or they participated only in solitary seminars, so communication with administration of the universities was not successful.<\/p>\n

      The most active participants were those who learned about the project from their colleagues and expressed their willingness to participate. The main need of the participants was not representing their institutions, not preparing the course for their universities, but new knowledge and skills, i.e. their own professional development. The participants of the seminars not only made their notes, but they also received written in shorthand materials and directions of the sources which might help prepare plan of the introductory course.<\/p>\n

      Since the motivation of the participants has changed, the project had no direct influence on the universities. That\u2019s why it is not clear if administration of the universities will be willing to include the course into curriculum, despite of the fact that a few of them (Lithuanian Academy of Law, Klaipeda University, Siauliai University) confirmed their intentions in written form.<\/p>\n

      The organizers of the project consider the project to be a success, because it met the needs of the participants and showed that seminars of such mind are necessary for the lecturers of the universities. Modern Didactics Center managed to unite doctoral students and lecturers of the universities interested in the problems of university didactic and are open for further communication and cooperation.<\/p>\n
