PROFFORMANCE for Empowering Educators with Student-Centered Approaches

The PROFFORMANCE+ project was honored to participate in the "5th Conference and Exhibition on Educational Informatics in Higher Education," where Dr. Linda Huszár and Szilvia Besze delivered an insightful presentation titled "Student-Centered Educator" and led an interactive workshop.

This significant event provided an excellent opportunity to showcase how the PROFFORMANCE project products support higher education professionals in enhancing their teaching strategies by prioritizing student engagement and adapting courses to meet individual learner needs. The presentation highlighted the vital role educators play in creating student-centered learning environments. It emphasized the importance of designing courses and assessments that not only cater to the unique needs of students but also incorporate real-world projects into the curricula, offering practical learning experiences. 

During the workshop, participants were given the chance to experience the PROFFORMANCE assessment tool in action by assessing the competencies of the persona of Hungarian educators in evaluating student performance. The diverse range of results reflected varying views and opininons on current practices, illustrating that while there are numerous examples of excellence, there remains  opportunity for further development and growth in this area.

The PROFFORMANCE toolkit, which includes the assessment tool, short courses, and an international teaching excellence database, is available for free to the public. These resources are designed to help higher education teaching staff develop the skills needed to become truly "student-centered teachers," offering valuable support in their professional growth.
