Hello, everyone
Ana, you are right, HOW is a good question.
The design of the Courses for professional development for teachers should undergo substantial changes putting forward teacher agency. Knowledge based economy needs the instructors who can teach students HOW to learn, who are able to investigate, inquire constantly. Today knowledge is accessible at hand's reach. There is Chinese proverb "if your student asks a glass of water, teachers should have a pail water to deliver at their disposal". It is feasible in case of:
-
Positive mindset of teachers, understanding and awareness of crucial role of a XXI century teacher, new mission of a teacher.
-
Openness and adaptiveness to changes, get rid of teaching as she/he was taught to teach.
-
Readiness to life-long learning, research and regular publishing.
