Description of activities carried out:- UNIGE-DIMA Project Team Alignment;
- Division of tasks and responsibilities within the UNIGE-DIMA team by the coordinator;
- Informing via emails about the project the school community and teachers;
- Diagnosing the knowledge of maths learning difficulties and disabilities among the teachers of the Associate partner schools;
- Periodic meetings with the teachers of the schools involved;
- Preparing the Questionnaires A1 and A2 for teachers (in English and in the Italian version);
- Sharing the Questionnaires A1 and A2 for teachers with the other partners in order to have feedback;
- Identification and adoption of an interactive IT tool for filling in questionnaires;
- Upload the Questionnaires A1 and A2 for teachers in the partner countries languages and in English
- Collecting the questionnaire A1 and A2 administered via a web interface;
- Analysing the questionnaire A1 and A2 (data analysis, discussion of results within the team, sharing with partners)
- Preparing an example of a list of the exercises for Questionnaires B1 and B2 for students (in English and in Italian) Aims: 1) Questionnaire B1 to make an initial analysis and single out those students that do not have difficulties in mathematics. 2) Questionnaire B2 to better understand students’ profiles of difficulty.
- Defining the Questionnaires B1 and B2 for students with the partner countries
- Designing interventions tools and monitoring tools
- Presenting Intervention and Monitoring tools to the teachers to be applied
- Application if the interventions tools
