In the framework of the PATHWAY project, a workshop for science teachers will be organised in Crete, Greece, from 30 June to 5 July 2013.

The course’s main objective is to introduce teachers to inquiry-based science teaching techniques with the view in to adopting them in classroom practice. Participating science teachers will be immersed in the process of science-inquiry via their interaction with collections of open digital educational resources.

Throughout the course, teachers will experience inquiry strategies in three different modes: a) as learners participating in inquiry-based learning; b) as teachers implementing inquiry-based strategies in their classes; and c) as researchers collecting, examining and interpreting data about their practice and their students’ learning.

The training course comprises 10 hours of demonstrations and guided explorations, and 15 hours of hands-on workshops.

More information is available on the workshop website.
