International pedagogical research and development projects
Since 2005, iTStudy has been involved in national and international R&D projects as a coordinator or collaborating partner.
The main themes of these projects are the dissemination of innovative, learner-centred, 21st century teaching methods, research into the potential of online learning, digital education solutions and the development of individuals' digital competences as defined in the European Union's Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (DigComp).
A number of projects are addressing the improvement of vocational education and training: innovating teaching methods, upgrading teachers' digital skills and ensuring that graduates are better equipped to meet current labour market needs.
During theimplementation of international projects, we have built an extensive network of contacts with national and foreign public education and higher education institutions, so most of the developments have been carried out in close cooperation with primary schools, vocational training institutions and universities.
The stand-alone project "Connect the teachers to reach and teach the Net Generation", launched in 2008, was awarded the EU Commission's "Best Practice" award. The OpenQAsS Erasmus+ project for teachers and heads of institutions in vocational education and training (2014–2018), which helps to build an institutional quality management system in line with the EQAVET system and to develop a quality culture in schools, received the Award of Excellence from Tempus Public Foundation.
