Material outputs

•Story as a motivation factor
▫ „I see the children in different situations – the story provides different settings, not just
learning environment, they feel it differently and look forward to it. They enjoy it a lot. They do
it spontaneously, intuitively, enjoying the time at school. Children prefer to be at school when we
are all in the story.  It brings us a great time and moments”.
▫ Interview with teacher
▫
▫ „It seems to me that I am somewhere else than at school.“ Interview  with pupils
▫
•Development of student imagination and self-confidence
▫ „I feel that  I have underestimated the child's imagination, I am surprised that it is richer
than mine.“
▫       Teacher reflection in writting
Results of Global Storylines implementation Cycle 1

•Learner's participation
• „I am very proud of  everything we did in the project, they have been learning much more quickly
than usual. They were different, quicker and ingenious. They have been seeking for information in
books, magazines, in families, …”
• Group discussion with teachers
•
•Positive effect on discipline and atmosphere in the classroom
• „I had a pupil with behavioural problems in the classroom for three years.  I was not used to
having calm days. But suddenly, all problems have disappeared! All disciplinary problems are gone
and we are just enjoying great times.”
• Interview with teacher
Results of Global Storylines implementation cycle 1

•Inclusive potential of storylines
• „XY is such an introvert. He is always sitting in the corner, outside of the group. But today he
was leading the debate, he's being the chief“.
• Interview with teacher
•
• „We have learned that we can´t judge anything by how it looks, but by what's inside“.
• Interview with pupils
•Decision-making process
▫ „They worked independently, able to discuss, be responsible for the work in the village. Two
months ago they would have given it up. During the GSL children were different, quicker, smarter“.
▫ Interview with teacher
▫
•Changes in teacher's position
▫ „I am very glad that we tried it and allowed them to use different approaches and methods than
they used to know. It has had a great impact at present. They treat me differently  as well as I
treat them and the class is immensely calm and friendly“.
▫ Group discussion with teachers

Material outcomes


•„They have demonstrated abilities as “half-adults” would. I am not afraid to speak with them as
with adults – they are responsible. They are not small children anymore but responsible persons,
capable of great things”.
• Interview with teacher
•Dear giant,
•we want to meet you on the field near our city. We will bring you a gift. We will not be armed,
but we will be watched by patrol. We want to keep a distance of 15 steps. We do not want you to get
angry. When something upsets you, close your eyes, breathe deeply and think of your birthday. Then
tell us what´s made you angry.

Conclusion
• „Responsible, hardworking and thoughtful – those are the results of two months’ work.”
•       Group discussion with teachers

Issues to discuss
•During the first cycle of implementation the teachers faced difficulties how to coordinate the
story with other school activities. How could we facilitate the development of friendly environment
in terms of new methods in school?
•
•
•The observations and interviews have been carried out during the implementation of stories in the
classrooms. How to measure a long-term effect of GSL?
