Within the framework of the international project LERMOV – «Learning through Movement! Innovative and interdisciplinary teaching methods in pre-primary and primary education», an expert evaluation of teaching and methodological materials developed by seven project partners was carried out.
The evaluation process involved 11 experts from four countries, ensuring objectivity, impartiality, and a comprehensive analysis of the developed content.
From Ivan Boberskyi Lviv State University of Physical Culture, Associate Professor Olha Rymar from the Department of Theory and Methods of Physical Culture, PhD in Physical Education and Sport, joined the expert committee.
The materials under review included methodological resources, educational videos, and a syllabus of an academic course.
According to the evaluation results, five teaching materials developed by the academic staff of the University – Yevhen Prystupa, Natalia Sorokolit, Viktoriia Pasichnyk, Andrii Mandiuk, and Ivanna Bodnar – received more than 8 out of 10 points.
The experts highlighted the main strengths of the materials, including a solid scientific foundation, innovation, and strong practical applicability. The resources effectively integrate physical activity with cognitive development, contributing to the holistic development of children. At the same time, the experts provided recommendations for further improvement, particularly regarding the development of assessment tools (rubrics, observation, self-assessment) and enhancing inclusiveness.
The educational video materials received particularly high recognition and were considered the best among all submitted resources. Six videos were rated above 9 out of 10 points. According to the experts, they are highly relevant, methodologically sound, and practically applicable.
The videos effectively combine physical activity with cognitive and socio-emotional development of children aged 5–10, supporting active and inquiry-based learning. The materials are adaptable, resource-efficient, and suitable for a wide range of educational institutions.
Experts also recommended placing greater emphasis on explaining pedagogical strategies for differentiation and inclusive adaptations in the videos. This would further enhance their educational impact, support the sustainable implementation of innovations in European education, and contribute to the effective achievement of Erasmus+ programme priorities.
The results confirm the high quality of educational content developed at the University and demonstrate the active involvement of its academic staff in international educational initiatives and the implementation of innovative approaches in the field of physical education and sport.
