Paper Abstract:
|
The professional development of teachers is a task recognized by the European parliament and pursued by many
institutions, both national and international ones. The support to teachers in STEM disciplines was one of the aims of the
Erasmus+ SMART (Science and Mathematics Advanced Research for good Teaching) project, born in a European context,
which developed as its main intellectual output two open online courses called Mathematical Modelling and Observing,
Measuring and Modelling in Science, in order to help teachers in their continuous professional development. Both courses
contain interactive problem-based materials ready to be downloaded, modified, used in the classroom and redistributed to
the community. This paper gives an overview of the structure of the course Mathematical Modelling and analyzes its
instructional quality, taking into account some measurables obtained in two years of operativity. |
