Aim
Considering the important role of human values in
student personality development, we will attempt to use language, ICT
technology and art as a medium for developing our students´ affective,
artistic, as well as ICT skills. Our end product will be a presentation
of the human values, as perceived of the students of the participating
countries.
Objectives
Following Bloom΄s
taxonomy, the project΄s
objectives can be classified in:
-
Cognitive:Students
will be able to develop their native language and foreign language
skills.
-
Affective:
a) Students will be able to
value the importance of human values, b) Students will acquire a
positive stance towards the introduction of the European dimension
within the school setting, c) Students will develop their affective
skills, d) Students will increase their motivation towards native as
well as foreign language learning. e) Students will understand how
human values are expressed and perceived by other Europeans.
-
Psycho-motor:
Students will be able to: a) Draw and paint pictures reflecting
specific human values (Artistic skills), b) learn how to use the PC
to find information, draw and paint pictures of human values and
make presentations (ICT skills).
Methodology
Our methodology focuses on activities that develop
students’ affective and linguistic skills. In more detail:
-
We
create a beautiful word cloud with the human values in our language.
-
Using
audio/visual prompts (photos/songs/videos) or linguistic material (eg.
short stories) students work cooperatively attempting to recognise a
specific human value.
-
A
discussion follows as how students perceive the vakue and how they
would describe it to an alien.
-
All
opinions are collected by the group secretary and recorded on a
piece of paper. Then, in groups students use create concept
maps.
-
On a
worksheet, students write the value both in Greek and in English.
Then, they make a sentence in both languages to descibe it.
-
The
following worksheet is distributed to the students. They search the
Internet and complete it in their mother tongue or in English or in
both.
-
Finally, students paint a picture of the value. All worksheets are
collected and pinned on a large poster entitled with the Value’s
name. They are photographed, put in beautiful e-frames and published
in the twinblog/twinspace/school’s website.
The values we work on are:
FRIENDSHIP/BEAUTY/EQUALITY/COLLABORATION/DEMOCRACY/
JUSTICE/WISDOM/OPENESS/RESPECT FOR OTHERS/CONCERN FOR
OTHERS
