The aim of the project

The project GAMMA aims to direct students' knowledge of digital games and their connection thereto to enhance their mathematical skills. Since teachers should have a leading role in this process, the project aims to develop educational materials that will be useful to all mathematics teachers who want to use game-based learning (GBL) founded on digital technology.

Objectives

develop teachers competences in GBL
encourage teachers to use and apply digital games in the teaching process
stimulate teachers to create their games for scenarios
strengthen collaboration between schools and universities

Expected results

to provide insight into different educational systems in European countries, especially in the context of teaching mathematics by means of GBL founded on digital technology
to create a GAMMA handbook for teachers
to develop focused authoring systems (FAS) for the production of digital games
to create a template for a teaching scenario, 8 scenario examples concerning GBL in mathematics and 5 games connected with them
to create a website where all materials prepared during the project will be publicly accessible

Through the work done by 9 participating partners, organised training and workshops:

encourage teachers to use and apply digital games in the teaching process; teachers will get insight into different educational systems, share experiences, resources, learn from each other and improve their language skills
partnerships will be developed between schools and higher education institutions not only at national, but also at EU level
collaboration will be developed between the four European universities.
