Teaching Resources
Student Project Overview Project based on
Finlands National curriculums targets and
content on history, Arts, Swedish and English
language Finnish, information technology.
Teamwork collaboration inspired shy pupils to be
more active and developed all pupils team and
croup working skills. On TVT side target was to
get pupils to use ICT in as many forms as
possible. Project target was to make high quality
learning and content and obviously that demand
motivated pupils a lot. Cross subject
collaboration supported pupils capacity to solve
complex problems. Their project management and
responsibility skills developed. Also the way to
learn and using ICT mad learning more relevant
and motivating. Using pupil skills and different
learning styles also raised the level of
learning. Pupils also made learning objects for
each other so they had to take the role of mentor
and learner. Placing historical events to the
time line was experienced as difficult,
especially when the different matters take place
at the same time and in many separate places. At
the stage of construction of the context, some of
the pupils supposed that out of this does not
become anything and that everything is chaos.
Pairs of pupils chose a interesting subject of
the Ancient Greece to examine. Of this subject,
the problems, in the teachers' control (a
formulation of the problem), were set. These
subjects were studied by becoming acquainted with
different source of materials. The work started
on the basis of an own working theory.
