How to enhance READING in an international context? My proposal is an International Book Club where students from different countries meet virtually and engage with each other and the literary texts they read. Explaining their significance to their peers and reflecting on the influences of different cultural background on their reading experience.

Students could create a project to promote the critical thinking in different ways: they can participate in brainstorming sessions where team members can freely share and build upon ideas to generate innovative solutions. Collaborative projects that require students to work together to solve complex problems or create original content can also stimulate creative thinking. Additionally, group discussions, debates, or design challenges can help students practice evaluating and improving ideas collectively. By working together in these ways, students can develop their ability to think creatively and contribute to impactful outcomes as a team.

eTwinning project "Global Environmental Challenges"

adrijanabaus — 2024-03-26 17:46:08 UTC

The "Global Environmental Challenges" eTwinning project connects students worldwide to explore and solve environmental issues like pollution and climate change through research and creative thinking. In this project, students collaborate to create digital models or simulations of innovative solutions, complemented by explanatory texts and videos. Their work culminates in a virtual exhibition, showcasing their ideas to the eTwinning community. This hands-on project not only enhances students' understanding of environmental science but also develops their skills in research, collaboration, and digital presentation, encouraging them to become proactive, environmentally aware citizens.

Here are some project or activity ideas utilizing eTwinning to support students' development of the skills described in the PISA 2022 framework:

Global science investigations:
- Partner classes from different countries can collaborate on science investigations focusing on real-world issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, or health challenges.
- Students can collect data, conduct experiments, and analyze findings together, fostering their scientific literacy and ability to engage with science-related issues as reflective citizens.
Digital storytelling for reading and creative thinking:
- Students can collaborate on creating digital stories that require critical thinking, imagination, and engagement with texts.
- They can explore themes related to literature, history, or social issues, using multimedia tools to develop original and impactful narratives that reflect their understanding and interpretation of texts.
Mathematical problem-solving challenges:
- Partner classes can participate in a series of mathematical problem-solving challenges where students work collaboratively to solve complex, multi-step problems.
- Each challenge can focus on a specific mathematical concept or real-world application, encouraging students to apply their mathematical reasoning skills and creativity to develop original solutions.
Cross-Cultural mathematical artifacts:
- Students can explore mathematical concepts through the lens of cultural artifacts and practices from different countries.
- They can research and analyze traditional patterns, designs, and symbols, then use mathematical principles to create their own artifacts, fostering both mathematical understanding and creative thinking.
Virtual science fairs:
- Partner classes can organize virtual science fairs where students showcase their scientific investigations and findings.
- Students can present their projects through videos, presentations, or interactive demonstrations, providing opportunities for peer evaluation, feedback, and discussion, thus enhancing their ability to engage in reasoned discourse about science and technology.

These eTwinning projects and activities provide opportunities for students to develop and apply a range of skills, including mathematics, reading, science literacy, and creative thinking, while also fostering collaboration, cultural exchange, and global citizenship.

eTwinning could support students’ development in Mathematics organizing, for example, some challenges where students compete in solving Math puzzles, riddles or brainteasers. These challenges can encourage critical thinking and mathematical creativity. Another activity could be the creation of Virtual Science Labs where students collaborate on virtual science experiments or simulations. Students can collect data, analyze results, and draw scientific conclusions. This enhances their understanding of scientific concepts and methods

We can use eTwinning by creating a project that improve problem solving skills such as a global problem that we need to use many skills combined such as collecting data and combining them together to provide maybe a solution to the problem faced such as providing a solution for students who can't access school easily due to a disability maybe in walking for example.

Reading and Creative thinking - Advertisements

We live in a certain environment that affects us, but we must not take everything that surrounds us for granted. Among others, we are influenced by advertisements and social networks. Critical thinking while exposed to numerous influences is very important. Students, like investigative journalists, will answer the five key questions - who, what, where, when and why - while analyzing advertisements. They will analyze old and new advertisements, compare them and answer the key questions: Who published the advertisement? Who is it intended for? How does it affect people? What are the good and bad sides? What is shown correctly or incorrectly? Students will analyze the advertisement of their own and other countries and exchange experiences. At the end, they will record a digital story of an informative character which will teach and give advice about the importance of critical thinking among children and young people.

I like eTwinning and mathematics, so I have already implemented several successful projects with my project partners (they were awarded by NQL and also by EQL). They have promoted creative thinking, problem solving, collaboration etc. and of course mathematics. They included cryptology, algorithmization, geometry, etc. I think the projects have definitely supported the development of the skills assessed by PISA.

Sustainable education projects are ideal for developing the soft skills for 21^st century. A project about the 17 goals develops many skills, like reading and understanding information. Furthermore, solving problems is important for variety of real world contexts. Talking about 17 goals you have to know about science. A project like “How to improve my life according to 17 goals” would be a good way to develop soft skills.

In order to foster critical thinking, students could design a project that takes several forms. For example, they could take part in brainstorming sessions where team members are allowed to share and build upon one other's ideas to produce creative solutions. Creative thinking can also be sparked by group projects that ask students to collaborate in order to solve complicated issues or produce unique content. Group debates, discussions, and design challenges can also provide students experience assessing and refining ideas together. Students can enhance their capacity for creative thought and contribute to significant results as a team by collaborating in various ways.
