Summary

GAME EDU project aims to develop an educational approach using existing Open Educational Resources (OER) and creating an interactive educational game set based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to enhance learning for primary school children aged 9 and 10, especially designed to cater to those with learning underachievement. This set of educational games will promote a “Learning by playing” teaching method, making the learning process more efficient and engaging.

Objectives

The project aligns with the principles of inclusive education and the rights of persons with disabilities. It seeks to provide every student, equal opportunities to access a high-quality education without segregation. Inclusive education emphasizes adapting the educational framework to cater to individual learner needs, incorporating attitudes, approaches, and strategies that include all students in all activities.

Impact

The key highlight of this project is that the new teaching method and the set of educational games developed can be used with all students aged 9 and 10, making it widely applicable.
Furthermore, the project will facilitate transnational cooperation among primary school teachers from three European municipalities (Drama – Greece, Kochani – North Macedonia, Bratcigovo – Bulgaria) through the use of OER and eTwinning networking modules. This cooperation will enable teachers to enhance their skills and knowledge, especially in regards to working with students facing learning underachievement. Student’s academic achievements in learning mathematics, science and English language, will improve.
