BSPU faculty members as external experts of the european IDEATE project

Faculty members of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University – Anastasiia Popova, Hanna Lopatina, and Nataliia Tsybuliak – at the invitation of Bielefeld University (Germany), joined the international project IDEATE – Inclusive Digital Education and Teacher Empowerment Academy as external experts. The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.

IDEATE aims to advance inclusive digital education and strengthen teachers’ professional capacity. The project addresses pressing challenges in European education, including the ageing teaching workforce, shortages of teachers in specific subject areas, the need to develop inclusive and digital competences, and the declining prestige of the teaching profession.

Within the project, an accredited course for pre-service and in-service teachers is being developed, alongside cross-university cooperation and academic mobility activities. A key component is the implementation of digital tools and the creation of an integrated digital learning ecosystem designed to provide an adaptive, interactive, and personalized learning experience through the use of artificial intelligence and gamification elements.

The platform will include six core components: the Education Management Hub, Learning Content Hub, Community Hub, Lifelong Learning Network, Gamification Engine, and Adaptive Learning System. The project also предусматриes the development of Open Educational Resources (OER) and support for teachers’ continuous professional development.

Special attention is given to enhancing teachers’ professional self-efficacy and well-being as essential elements of sustainable educational systems.

The participation of BSPU representatives as external experts confirms the high level of the university’s expertise and represents an important step toward expanding international cooperation in the fields of inclusive and digital education.
