Summary of project results
The project was a response to the problems of deaf people in the Polish vocational education system. The aim of the project was to develop, disseminate and ensure sustainability in the use of innovative tools (lesson plans / scenarios using the WebQuest method) in the teaching of deaf people.
This goal was fully achieved
Thanks to the development of feedback from testing groups, especially from teachers, which was collected and summarized in the final report, it can be concluded that the developed products influenced the activation of deaf students, increased teaching efficiency, and students acquired new skills, e.g. in the field of cooperation in a group and the use of modern technologies
The project is part of the main goal of the Program because it works to reduce economic differences. and co. within the EEA by providing more effective education for deaf people, using new teaching methods, which translates into their social and educational inclusion and counteracting social exclusion.
The essence of innovation in this project is the use of the WQ method in the teaching process, taking into account the special educational needs of the deaf at the stage of vocational education.
Initial assumptions about the bargaining and durability have been confirmed. This was achieved thanks to numerous (35) declarations of teachers and managers of school / training institutions about the future application in teaching practice, which introduces the project''s products into the mainstreaming system of vocational education of the deaf.
The end recipients of innovations are deaf people attending vocational schools and their teachers / educators, schools / NGOs providing vocational education for the deaf and hard of hearing, as well as indirectly decision makers, the deaf community and the general public.
