This paper presents and discusses the design and experimentation of a teacher training course on a set of digital and methodological tools aimed at enhancing the teaching and learning of STEM in a problem solving perspective at secondary school level. The course included face-to-face lessons, online meetings, assignment submissions, group-work, laboratories, and the application of the methodologies learned in the classroom. It was attended by 39 teachers in the 2017/2018 school year. Data about appreciation and effectiveness of the training modalities and the perceived usefulness of the proposed methodologies for learning, collected through questionnaires, are analyzed and discussed, with the purpose of gaining insights into how to prepare teachers to integrate technology and problem solving in the curriculum.

Abstract

This paper presents and discusses the design and experimentation of a teacher training course on a set of digital and methodological tools aimed at enhancing the teaching and learning of STEM in a problem solving perspective at secondary school level. The course included face-to-face lessons, online meetings, assignment submissions, group-work, laboratories, and the application of the methodologies learned in the classroom. It was attended by 39 teachers in the 2017/2018 school year. Data about appreciation and effectiveness of the training modalities and the perceived usefulness of the proposed methodologies for learning, collected through questionnaires, are analyzed and discussed, with the purpose of gaining insights into how to prepare teachers to integrate technology and problem solving in the curriculum.
