Challenging paradigms in the continuous training of teachers from curricular area Mathematics and Science

Abstract

Continuous training of teachers has proved a cornerstone for changing teaching from a mere activity to a profession. The teaching career is regulated by a special methodology which implies the three stages: definitive, second grade and first grade. These are supported by continuous training of teachers educational policy and activities. The various levels of change that emerged from the educational reform processes after 1989 did not leave the continuous training of teachers untouched. This paper refers to the continuous training of Mathematics and Science teachers through the project “Continuous training network for teachers to use multimedia, virtual instruments web 2.0 in the curricular area of Mathematics and natural sciences (Proweb)”. This paper discusses the activities and results of the counties (Gorj, Dolj, Olt, Caraş-Severin and Mehedinţi) for which the “Constantin Brâncuşi” University of Târgu Jiu, România had the responsibility for continuous training. ( project POSDRU/157/1.3/S/141587).
