Third Meeting in Kosovo

During the third transnational meeting in Kosovo, partners made significant progress in refining the project’s implementation and monitoring processes. A key focus was on updating the Gantt chart, with partners required to include activity details and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) by 24 November. Deadlines for all activities were revised to ensure timely completion. Dissemination strategies were also enhanced, highlighting the importance of promoting flipped learning, which lacks formal recognition at the national level in many partner countries. Partners agreed to collaborate with local education directorates, utilize digital platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube, and engage traditional and electronic media outlets to increase outreach. Each partner will contribute to a monthly experience-sharing page with insights, interviews, and reflections, starting with EGE in November and continuing through April. Additionally, short online courses will be developed to introduce flipped learning concepts to a wider audience.

Teacher training and lesson plan development were critical topics of discussion. Four teachers from each partner country will complete peer-reviewed lesson plans and create short videos showcasing classroom applications of flipped learning. The lesson plan template will be revised by EGE to include additional sections for resources and course materials. Observation tools will also be improved to assess skills like teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving while considering group dynamics and special needs students. Four peer observations will be conducted in each country, covering different disciplines, to ensure robust evaluation of teaching practices. Tools such as family, school, and student guides will be finalized by the end of November, offering support to all stakeholders in formats like videos, infographics, and PDFs.

Data collection and analysis deadlines were also set for 30 May 2024, with a focus on both quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative surveys will involve at least 50 students per country, while qualitative surveys will collect insights from teachers, students, and parents, with data analyzed using content analysis and comparative methods. To facilitate this process, EGE will provide a guideline and host an online session to train partners on conducting effective interviews. Other notable outcomes included the preparation of a digital learning workshop, due by 1 December, featuring flipped learning benefits, lesson plan templates, and in-class implementation videos. These discussions and agreed actions highlight the partners’ commitment to achieving the project’s objectives and ensuring its broad impact on educational practices.
