Ongoing evaluation is carried out throughout the project, and students regularly provide feedback on the lessons they participate in. Their reflections and evaluations help us monitor progress, improve activities, and ensure that the project effectively supports their learning and engagement.
HAPPY PLANET
Preliminary survey
The preliminary survey conducted among students participating in the Erasmus+ project “Happy Planet” aimed to identify their initial interests, expectations, and attitudes towards the planned activities. It was designed to help teachers and project coordinators better understand what motivates students and which areas of environmental education attract their attention the most.
Through this survey, students expressed their opinions on topics such as international cooperation, environmental protection, healthy lifestyle, and the use of digital tools in education. The collected data allowed the project team to adjust activities to the students’ needs and preferences, ensuring greater engagement and educational value.
The survey also provided insight into the skills students wished to develop-including language, digital, creative, and teamwork competences—and showed a generally positive attitude towards the project and its ecological goals.
The preliminary survey served as a diagnostic and planning tool, supporting the effective design of project activities and confirming students’ enthusiasm for learning about ecology and sustainability in an international context.
EVALUATION OF CLASSES
Teachers also carry out self-evaluation of the lessons they deliver. After each activity, they reflect on the methods used, student engagement, and the effectiveness of the materials, allowing them to improve future lessons and ensure high-quality implementation of the project.
The lessons carried out within the project are also observed by the school headmaster. These observations ensure high-quality implementation of project activities, support teachers in improving their teaching strategies, and help monitor student engagement and the effectiveness of ecological education.
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION QUIZ
The quiz was created by students of 2nd Gymnasio Sykeon to check the knowledge concerning environemnt protection by students of all partner schools.
