Title:
Bilingual Teaching Material For The Deaf by means of ICT (BITEMA)
ProjectID:
89950-CP-1-2001-1-DK-GRUNDTVIG-G1
Description:
The objective of the project is to develop improved methods and means of education for
deaf adults who cannot access the labour market due to poor school knowledge and
poor qualifications on the whole.
The target group is therefore young deaf persons between the ages of 18 and 40.
All participating institutions offer education and job changes for the target group.
The objective of the project is to compensate for the lack of basic knowledge and to
raise the educational level of the target group. Development of methods that take this
group into consideration is imperative both from a human and a social point of view.
Improving education methods means taking advantage of the vast possibilities of
information and communication technology. A prototype of a special tool, EMT
(Educational Management Tool) must be further developed to fit the need of deaf
learners for visual learning. It gives teachers and pedagogues the chance to implement
their own assignments at websites both in writing and in sign language. Visual language
is a necessity for the deaf and by means of the webtool they are to work with video, 3Danimation,
videophone, net-chat etc.
Through the work of teachers connected to the project, new pedagogical methods will be
developed and it will be ensured that the users (the learners) will be able to obtain the
same information as other people - but on their own terms.
Lifelong learning will from then on also be accessible for this group of people.

Description in original language:
Formålet med dette projekt er at udvikle forbedrede metoder og midler til at uddanne voksne døve, der ikke kan få adgang til arbejdsmarkedet på grund af dårlig skoleuddannelse og generelt dårlige kvalifikationer.
Målgruppen er derfor unge døve i aldersgruppen 18 til 40 år.Alle de deltagende institutioner tilbyder uddannelse og jobmuligheder til målgruppen.
Formålet med projekter er at kompensere for den manglende basisviden og at øge uddannelsesniveauet hos målgruppen. Udvikling af metoder der tager hensyn til denne gruppe er vigtig fra både menneskeligt og socialt set. Ved at forbedre uddannelsesmetoderne kan man drage nytte af de utroligt mange muligheder som IKT rummer. En prototype af et specielt værktøj, EMT (Education Management Tool) skal videreudvikles for at imødekomme døve kursisters behov for visuel læring. Det giver lærere og pædagoger en mulighed for at lægge deres egne opgaver in på hjemmesider såvel i skrift som i tegnsprog. Tegnsprog er en nødvendighed for døve, og ved hjælp af webværktøjet skal de arbejde med video, 3D-animation, videotelefon, net chat etc. Via det arbejde som de deltagende lærere lægger i projektet udvikles nye pædagogiske metoder, og det sikres, at slutbrugerne (kursisterne) får mulighed for at få de samme oplysninger som ande mennesker - men på deres egne betingelser. Livslang læring vil fra det tidspunkt også være tilgængeligt for denne gruppe mennesker.
