NERDVET – Think smart! Enhancing critical thinking skills & media literacy

Nerdvet intends to design and implement a Model for integrating in an organic way critical thinking and media literacy skills as learning outcomes within VET curricula.  The Model adopts a “critical learning approach” based on a constructivist learning theory, which aims to develop in the student the ability to critically reflect on what he hears, reads and observes as a prerequisite for a conscious and autonomous growth of his knowledge and ability to act responsibly and innovatively.

Based on this model, the project will develop and test a toolkit to support VET teachers and trainers on improving critical thinking and media literacy in VET students: it will be composed by a mix of teaching methodologies, content and best didactical practices tailored for this task and this target.
