About the project
"The Academy of
combined learning"

Teachers face the challenge of providing quality teaching in traditional and remote forms. We expect them to adapt their work methods and didactic approaches to prepare students for the challenges of the 21st century.

The Academy of Combined Learning-AcademyCOLE is co-financed by Norway, with the resources of the Norwegian Financial www.norwaygrants.si and www.norwaygrants.org.

The promoter is Ministry of Cohesion and Regional Development. It is intended to strengthen human resources.

To do this, they need appropriate content, didactic and digital support, a modern learning model and digital tools and platforms.
By developing interactive learning content and establishing a digital learning environment, the project addresses the need to develop new teaching and learning practices for work, further education and lifelong learning.

The challenge for teachers is how to create, apply and transfer good practices into their own environment, where they are often constrained by inadequate digital competences and a lack of learning models. The project wants to connect teachers with stakeholders within (including Norwegian teachers) and outside the education system, with the aim of sharing knowledge and good practices in the field of promoting and developing the skills and competences of both the teachers themselves and the students of secondary vocational education.

These challenges require a different way of teaching and otherwise structured materials that teachers need in teaching and students in their learning. Developed and upgraded e-materials in this project, working methods and newly acquired digital and didactic competences will also be useful at other levels of education as well as other professional fields, such as construction, energy, mehatronics ....

Objective

The main objective of the project is to create a digital learning environment based on institutional integration at several levels of professional education and the economy, including international integration, with a view to digitising teaching, developing new teaching and learning practices and promoting skills and competences in education.

The cornerstone of the environment is a combined learning model that effectively exploits the digital learning platform and digital tools for its implementation.

Develop a combined learning model for secondary professional education that allows hybrid teaching and learning and the possibility of implementation also in higher education.
The specific objective of the project is to train and raise the competences of teachers in upper secondary vocational education for the 21st century, with the primary address of learning, problem solving, critical thinking, initiative and entrepreneurship. The acquired competences will be used by teachers to implement the curriculum in the "classroom".
Training of multipliers/mentors who will transfer knowledge to new teachers
Training students to make use of modern learning methods easier
Partnerships between educational and other institutions (economy, industry, educational and research institutions) will be established.
Dissemination of good practices with the help of a project partner from Norway to the Slovenian space.
Transfer of results to other areas of expertise.
Contribute to increasing women's motivation to engage in technical professions.
