Abstract

The problem of students with difficulties in functioning in a school environment is nowadays becoming significant, as the environment often does not respond to unique and complex needs of young learners, such as modern ways of exchanging experience and knowledge, or the possibility of active participation in the community of learners and support networks. This state of affairs dictates the need to create new educational resources (also developed on the basis of cooperation of the academic community with secondary school teachers, or the cooperation of experts and practitioners from various countries) for future teachers who may face, for example, the problem of “burnt-out” young students. The main purpose of this paper is to share the first research results and reflections concerning the implementation of “The Unteachables” Erasmus+ project at the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Biology and Environmental Sciences at the Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw (in cooperation with partners from Denmark – project coordinator, Iceland, Spain, Slovenia and Italy).

Keywords:

‘new’ students; future teachers; secondary schools; universities; cooperation; the Erasmus Project
