Description
The objectives of the eEarlycare-T project are directly framed in the Erasmus + Programme, specifically in the Sector Priority related to School Education: Developing high quality early childhood education and care systems. Therefore, the eEarlycare-T project aims to put into practice the key principles of the EU Quality Framework for ECEC (Proposal for key principles of a Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care. EC, 2014). In addition, it is directly related to the importance of quality training, both initial and continuous, to promote good professional performance, and, specifically, with the importance of promoting up-to-date and high-quality training of professionals who care for children at an early age, since the responsibility of these professionals is to facilitate the integral development of children in its highest possible degree, by promoting a sustainable and inclusive education within the needs of the 21st century society. Therefore, the key objectives of the project are to develop a learning environment based on the application of resources offered by the Internet of Things, aimed at updating and training early care professionals in practice and graduates of degrees and/or master’s degrees related to this field. In particular, it is expected to both train early care professionals in the use of digital resources (Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence) and introduce these tools in their usual professional practice (evaluation, diagnosis and intervention). These innovations, aforementioned above, will promote a technological transformation both in educational intervention and in therapy in early care settings.
GENERAL OBJECTIVE: To reduce the (specialized and updated) knowledge and training gap suffered by ECEC professionals and graduates (through innovative learning methods) in regard to new supporting advanced technologies, paving the way to their practical use and implementation, enabling the current tech transformation towards higher quality and more precise educational and therapeutic intervention actions in the ECEC field. OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES: -To develop and implement a curriculum for updating ECEC active professionals in which supporting advanced technologies are applied. -
To develop and implement a curriculum for ECEC graduates’ specialization in which supporting advanced technologies are applied. -To check the practical application of supporting advanced technologies in natural or simulation contexts (virtual simulation laboratories).
