EKT is a Knowledge Alliance for Higher Education in which six EU countries participate and in which eleven institutions with different profiles contribute to its work but which can be grouped under two main categories.
Our goal is to promote excellence in initial teacher training, so that we help overcome the false prejudice that understands that future teachers learn the skills necessary to exercise their profession naturally just by being placed in a school.
The partners in this consortium have years of experience in both educational and technological innovation and teacher training.
Educational Knowledge Transfer – EKT is a Knowledge Alliance for Higher Education in which six EU countries participate and in which eleven institutions with different profiles contribute to its work but which can be grouped under two main categories. On the one hand, we refer to technology companies that offer services and resources of elearning, and on the other hand, to educational institutions with responsibility in initial teacher training (ITE). Throughout the 3 years of the project, innovative strategies will be implemented through the union of the expert knowledge produced via educational research and technological optimization. Moreover, during the pilot, the participating institutions will have the opportunity to experiment working with new technological strategies that support the practicum (in school placement) strengthening its consolidation as a significant learning experience.

Our goal is to promote excellence in initial teacher training, so that we help overcome the false prejudice that understands that future teachers learn the skills necessary to exercise their profession naturally just by being placed in a school. In this way, key processes are strengthened in order to foster the reflective learning of the teaching profession, teachers cooperation, interaction, and assessment. The results of EKT will effectively contribute to the revision and improvement of in school placement, which is a key element of the ITE, as well as to a better selection of future teachers.
