BEAGLE: Bioethical Education and Attitude Guidance for Living Environment

 

The recent rapid development of technology requires a new approach to teaching – education systems and professors are struggling to keep up with new technical capabilities, and the purpose of the project is to provide educators with a methodological framework and guidelines that will help them with introducing innovative practices in the contemporary environment. On the other hand, same as teachers, students are trying to keep up with the contemporary surroundings, surroundings which suppress the relationship with the environment, more precisely with nature.                       

The purpose of the project is to develop concrete guidelines for bioethical education that will assist teachers in implementing BEAGLE will further improve the development of teaching staff, and the available materials will also address the practical application of educational strategies – such as organizing and conducting bioethical workshops, developing Socratic dialogue, etc.

Given that the project is devoted equally to students and teachers, the focus will be on the conduct of bioethical workshops with the aim of developing bioethical values and critical thinking in students. Furthermore, BEAGLE will develop a transnational school curriculum for bioethical education in which will revise the current representation of bioethical values and critical thinking in schools. Ultimately, the development of the BEAGLE online archive and bioethical education network will link all teachers and educators across an open platform that will optimize the exchange of experiences and encourage faster implementation of innovative methods, higher order skills, especially critical thinking. Additionally, with the development of educational materials and manuals.
