| Description | In this presentation, we present the results of three years of research on the Step by Step (SbS) program in the Czech Republic, which operates here under the name Start Together (ST). In this paper, we want to evaluate what skills and abilities pupils develop in the SbS program in the Czech Republic. We will show that pupils achieve better results in creative and metacognitive skills. The aim of the research, however, was not to detect individual sub-skills developed in SbS, but to understand the complex phenomenon by which the quality of teaching is affected. In the research we detected the so-called Emotional-Cognitive Infrastructure (ECI). ECI has been detected in SbS research, however, it has a more general character that goes beyond the horizon of this program. It describes the organization of the learning environment and the processes taking place in it. |
