LearnersMot2: Creating a continuous supportive learning environment for the 45+, low educated and low skilled learners

Description

"According to ISCED, a high level of education has a significant impact on employment opportunities, which undoubtedly affects the quality of life of the population. However, it is estimated that 55 million people in Europe between the ages of 15 and 65 have problems understanding a simple text. These figures show how far we are from reaching the level envisaged by the Lisbon Treaty.Among the people with low educational level, a significant percentage are people over 45 years old, who need the motivation to rejoin the educational process and thus improve their skills to improve their situation in the labour market. A key role in this process is played by adult educators, the target group of this project. Although most of them are quite versatile with highly educated students, many do not know how to proceed with students with low-literacy level, nor which methodology to use to work with this kind of students. In this project, we start from the excellent results obtained in our previous Erasmus+ LearnersMot project, where the tools and materials developed within the project are being used successfully in several countries. LearnersMot2 will continue to focus on adult educators as a DIRECT TARGET GROUP and elderly low-educated and low-skilled workers as an INDIRECT TARGET GROUP, as the ageing of the workforce is one of the main demographic changes in EU countries. The ""silver economy"" is growing, which means that elderly people are seen not only as end-users but also as producers. (Memorandum on Silver Economy, Ljubljana, 2016).The main OBJECTIVE of this project is to provide adult educators with the knowledge and skills they need to create productive and effective learning environments for low-educated adults. LearnersMot2 intends to continue this work already started, focusing on the shortcomings identified during the implementation of the previous project, such as digital competences, permanent motivation and constructive feedback. The partners will use all the information gathered in LearnersMot as a basis and will take advantage of the free online educational platform already created, to which they will add the new materials created for this project. At the end of the project, the partners expect to obtain the following RESULTS: 1) concept map with indicators for the development of the 2) online course for adult educators, 3) online application for computer and mobile devices, 4) face-to-face training activity in Ljubljana to pilot test the developed material, 5) database with a collection of resources for adult educators, 6) blended learning course for adult educators, 7) 4 transnational meetings 7) 6 dissemination conferences. Regarding the METHODOLOGY used, each activity will be led by a partner who will provide the relevant guidelines. All partners will participate in the development of intellectual products, always under the supervision of the leader. Once the materials have been developed in English, they will be evaluated internally; the materials will be improved with the feedback received. Then there will be a pilot test, and finally, when the final version in English is available, it will be translated into the partners' languages. This will ensure that it reaches more educators in the partners' countries. This project is expected to have a high impact at the local, regional, national and European level. Due to the success of the previous LearnersMot project, the partners already have a network of contacts of educators interested in this topic, who have expressed their interest in LearnerMot2. The project will focus on fostering international cooperation for a greater exchange of good practices, experiences and knowledge about teaching adults with low educational level. By having the input of several countries, a common shared approach is guaranteed."
