The Illumine project team has been active in conducting research and presenting research results at the scientific conferences and in the scientific journals.
In the first six months of the project, the team was working on research design, creation of research instruments, their translation and adaptation. All partners collected data from teachers, while the Serbian team included students in their research, as well. Data was collected throughout the project, which enabled us to analyse it from diverse perspectives and theoretical positions. Topics that were discussed in scientific publications that emerged from the studies ranged from students’ experience with remote education to teachers’ motivation for professional development and technology usage, as well as their practices in remote education.
The Illumine project team produced the following conference posters, papers and proceedings:
