improved mathematical competence and ability to communicate in the mother tongue

Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven

A significant development is also reported for skills related to sense of entrepreneurship, civic competence, cultural awareness and expression, and learning competence (learning to learn), as well as for skills related to communication in the first language (mother tongue), mathematical competence and sense of initiative. This suggests that YiA projects contribute to a broad scope of key competences, on the one hand competences related to active citizenship as well as to participation in public life and civil society, on the other hand competences which are not directly linked to the objectives of the YiA programme.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

In 2012, a special study was developed aiming to explore the learning processes of actors involved in YiA projects. For this study, a "special survey" using multilingual online questionnaires was developed and implemented in 2012. Furthermore, qualitative research methods - interviews with project leaders and focus groups with project participants - were being implemented during the first half of 2013. The present report represents an interim transnationa analysis of the special surveys conducted within the framework of the RAY project in May 2012 by National Agencies and their research partners in 13 countries.
