On Wednesday, December 7th and Thursday, December 8th 2022, the Faculty of Management Science and Informatics of the University of Žilina (FRI UNIZA) participated in the 1st year summary transnational project meeting of the Erasmus+ KA220-SCH project titled OOP4FUN – Object Oriented Programming for Fun.
The meeting was organized by the project partner Secondary school Ivanec, Croatia, and hosted at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Organization and Informatics, also project partner. This 32-month project started on January 16th 2022 and it’s funded under the Erasmus+ program “Cooperation partnerships in school education” of the European Commission in the total amount of 282.265,00 euros.
The project's goals focus on high school teachers and students. Empowering teachers in using innovative curricula and approaches in teaching programming, particularly OOP programming, in a fun way of game development will better prepare and encourage high-school students to enroll the STEM-based colleges and will change their perception of programming.
In addition to the FRI UNIZA, the partners of this project include the leading European universities in the field of informatics/computer science: University of Pardubice, Czech Republic, University of Applied Sciences Dresden, Germany, University of Belgrade, Serbia, University of Zagreb, Croatia and participating secondary schools: Obchodná akadémia Považská Bystrica, Slovakia, Gymnazium Pardubice, Czech Republic, Gymnasium Dresden-Plauen, Germany, Gimnazija Ivanjica, Serbia and Srednja škola Ivanec, Croatia.
During the project, partners will jointly work on 5 main results, whereby 1st project result, Analysis of current state & identification of gaps in (teaching) programming, coordinated by Secondary school Ivanec, Croatia, is at its end.
Project goals are: 1. innovate the high-school curriculum with OOP and game development, 2. encourage high-school students to enroll STEM study programs and 3. fill the gap in understanding basic programming and OOP principles, create syllabus, guides (textbooks + online content) and educational materials for teachers.
One of the important expected impacts of the project will be that teachers and students from partner institutions will gain valuable domain knowledge and unique experience of working and learning in international teams and online environments through joint classrooms.
The national project manager of the project is Mr Michal Varga and more information on the expected results and partners involved is available on the official project website: https://oop4fun.eu/
