1. Analysis of knowledge status of informatics teaching staff in primary and secondary schools and creation of training methodology |
|
| We started work on analysis of knowledge status of informatics teaching staff in primary and secondary schools right after the approval of the project. It was a complex task, which first stage had been based on acquiring data about informatics teachers. It was done by FEEN's professors and Regional School Directory Nis staff. The list of informatic teachers from Regional School Directory Nis can be obtained by sending a request to the project coordinator, Prof. Ivan Milentijevic on email 
Data acquiring was followed by analysis with aim to provide a platform for creation of teaching methodology which is the most appropriate for training of informatics teachers in Serbia . Simultaneously, TEI professors and professors from University of Alicante prepared presentations on their experiences in continuous education and selection of training methodology. The final stage in achieving this outcome was the Workshop on Training Methodologies in Continuous Education. The workshop was held at TEI Athens and it was the first mile stone for our project. Conclusions from the Workshop were implemented in training methodology. The main result is adopted training methodology for training of informatics teachers in Serbia . The training methodology scheme can be found here. |
