Abstract

LEMA was an international project which aimed at designing a professional development course for modelling. Materials for professional development which were to be used in different national contexts were designed, piloted and evaluated. In this chapter, we present the overall framework of the project and its evaluation by outlining the theoretical background, the design of the professional development course, the design of the evaluation, and summative results. In brief, the summative results of the evaluation showed that the professional development course had no effect on teachers’ beliefs but a strong positive effect on their pedagogical content knowledge and self-efficacy in terms of modelling, as well as a high degree of satisfaction among participants regarding their professional development.
