GAME-iT

In the Bordeaux Communiqué EU ministers of education agree that the cooperation process launched in Copenhagen, 2002 has proved effective. However, the ministers also agreed that to achieve the goals set for 2010 in the Lisbon Strategy, a number of major challenges must be tackled. Among these are the T-VET teaching methods which need to be made more creative, innovative and motivating, and teacher training in the use of the new methods must be developed. GAMEiT will answer just those needs: It will build on a pedagogic model from the LdV project VITAE. The VITAE model showed how new learning methods based on Kolb’s learning circle, ICT, and the new web 2.0 tools could be integrated in T-VET teaching. The model was tested in pilot courses which were received enthusiastically by the participating teachers, but the VITAE project also demonstrated a need for a wider range of courses/pedagogic models based on the use of new technology. Therefore, the GAMEiT project will add creativity and innovation to the VITAE model to make one that builds on game based learning. Project outcomes:A teacher training course tested in pilot runs in all partner countries. The course will enable teachers to adapt their present teaching materials into game based/scenario based formatTeaching materials developed for the pilot test runs and subsequent courses demonstrating the used of game based learning materialsElectronic learning platforms in the partner countries through which parts of the courses will be delivered, and which will also function as hotline and resource databases.A handbook describing exactly how game based learning pedagogy can be included in T-VET teaching.The project will have direct impact on the teachers and educational institutions involved in the GAMEiT trial runs, and after the end of the project period on the regular GAMEiT courses. Further impact will be obtained via the electronic learning platforms through which the courses will be marketed after the project period, and which will also function as learning materials archives, FAQ databases and hotline for teachers working with adapting their teaching materials into the new format.
