მობილური ტელეფონები გახდა თანამედროვე ცხოვრების მნიშვნელოვანი ნაწილი, მაგრამ მათი გავლენა სწავლაზე, სოციალურ ურთიერთობებსა და კეთილდღეობაზე სკოლებში ძალიან შემაშფოთებელია.

The recent School Education Gateway survey on learning outside the classroom found that most respondents organise activities outside the classroom at least once a month. Respondents reported that working with external stakeholders has a positive effect on their daily practice positively, although it can present practical difficulties that can be addressed through partnership-building strategies.

The survey results indicate that innovation and entrepreneurship competences should be further highlighted in schools. Out-of-school activities seem to be an effective practice for developing pupils’ competences. On the other hand, teachers reported difficulties in accessing and collaborating with organisations, associations and businesses.

It is indeed not back to “business as usual”: in our latest survey, only one in two respondents reported that teachers are fully back in the classroom, while stress for both teachers and pupils is also reported.
