Kit@
Media competency training for professionals in day-care centers and comparable institutions in rural areas of Europe
Description

The Kit@ project is to create the innovative solutions for the development of media pedagogical competences using ICT (Information and Communication Technology) and the acquisition of digital skills of the professionals in child daycare centers and comparable institutions, especially in rural regions. The project responds to the fact that interacting with the Internet has become a part of the children’s everyday life. The project is focusing on rural areas which lack specialized staff, and have poor pedagogical material and consequently information technology conditions. A direct target group are the nursery school teachers in the children’s daycare centers and similar institutions as well as professional actors or institutions active in the field of early childhood education. The teaching of knowledge aims at applying innovative methods and pedagogical approaches to educate children how to use digital media.  

     The key person involved in the project is Cecília Aguiar, a full member researcher at CIS and assistant professor at Department of Social and Organizational Psychology Other CIS-IUL members, Lígia Monteiro, Tânia Boavida, and Catarina Araújo, are involved in the Kit@ project.
