believes that their child's participation in the project has brought very positive,
and 10% quite positive effects. No parent claims that the effects were minor. All
parents believe that the implementation of the project contributed to a very large
(70%) and large (30%) extent to the improvement of their children's English
language skills. All parents agree that international cooperation should be
continued.
SUMMARY BASED ON ANALYSIS OF
SURVEYS AND INTERVIEWS, CONCLUSIONS FOR THE FUTURE
Both students, teachers and parents evaluate the implementation of the project
very highly. Their positive comments and opinions prove that the project was
successfully implemented and had a significant impact on the people participating
in it as well as on the school. Most parents feel that their child's participation in
the project has had very positive effects and has improved his/her English and
maths skills. It is worth emphasizing that after the project, students began to see
mathematics as a subject that can be fun to learn. They realized that mathematics
is not as difficult as they thought before the project. In addition, many of them
indicated math classes as the most attractive during the project (mainly tangrams
and donuts, a visit to a DIY store, classes at the "Sowa" Science Center). Both
teachers, students and parents agree that international cooperation with partner
schools from Portugal and other European countries should be continued.
Since activities and topics related to science were rated as the least attractive for
students, we plan to expand the project's activities in this area. We are going to
continue math activities in conjunction with science. The idea of a new project to
be implemented in the school year 2023/24 - "Happy Maths & Happy Science"
was born.
