  Title Teacher's perception on developing and implementing virtual experiments Type Conference Article
  Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 133-136  
  Keywords Comenius 2.1 Project; European project; Experiments; Free of charge; New approaches; New teaching; Personnel training; School buildings; Teaching; Technological progress; Training course; Training material; Virtual experiments; Virtual instrument  
  Abstract Technological progress has allowed the emergence of new approaches to teaching. The virtual instruments development has led to lessons based on virtual experiments – applications that simulates real-life phenomenon and are specially designed for students use. Many virtual experiments can be obtained free of charge from the Internet, but their use in the classroom involves more than these tools availability. It involves the use of new teaching techniques and training materials. Through a European project, hundreds of teachers of sciences were trained to develop and implement virtual experiments in the classroom. This paper presents some of the expectations of teachers before the start of the training course and their opinion after the class implementation.

  Title The electronic book – A modern instrument used in teachers' training process Type Conference Article
  Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 563-567  
  Keywords Best practice guidelines; Comenius 2.1. project; Curricula; Digital material; Digital materials; E-learning; Electronic book; Electronic books; Electronic document exchange; Electronic publishing; E-publishing software; Information technology; Management; Personnel training; Teacher training; Teaching; World Wide Web  
  Abstract Since Internet became in the last years the biggest source of information, the book concept has been dramatically redefined, especially in terms of separating of its content and the related support. Practically, when using the electronic media, a book could take a different look – the electronic book (e-book). Due to their widely spread in the last period, the e-books are one of the most effective ways to support distance learning (e-learning), as they can be read by thousands of readers. Due to the fact that the teachers have limited time for participating to the face-to-face training programmes, the e-books became an important tool for promoting different training courses organized in the frame of various projects. It was also the case of the three years Socrates-Comenius 2.1 European project “FISTE – A Future Way for In-Service Teacher Training across Europe” – code 118766-CP-1-2004-1-RO-COMENIUS-C21, when the partnership organized the on-line courses entitled “Integrated ICT in Traditional Training” and “ECSUT: Educational Challenges & Solutions in Using ICT” [1]. The best practices and experiences of the teachers who achieved the on-line courses were collected and help the partnership to design a web-guideline entitled “Best Practices Guideline for Educational Use of ICT Tools” as a final output of the project. The content of the European course and the web-guideline have been produced as an e-book format by using Desktop Author software application. In this sense, the paper aims to present the most important features proposed by Desktop Author software during the design process of the mentioned e-books, together with the main facets presented by the related e-volumes. © 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

  Title Teachers' computer supported constructions within a European virtual community collaborative space for sciences education: An experience achieved in a multinational European project Type Conference Article
  Year 2010 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 349-356  
  Keywords Blended learning; Collaborative spaces; Computer supported education; Essential considerations; European Countries; European project; Experiments; Finland; Information and Communication Technologies; Lesson plans; Online training; Personnel training; Planning; Romania; Science education; Teacher training; Teaching; Teaching and learning; Virtual community; Virtual experiments; Virtual reality  
  Abstract This paper presents some essential considerations referred to the constructions performed by European teachers in terms of virtual experiments and lesson plans within the framework of a Virtual community collaborative Space for Sciences education. This framework was set up in the context of the Socrates Comenius 2.1 European project: “VccSSe – Virtual Community Collaborating Space for Science Education”. In this project, teachers from five European countries (Romania, Poland, Finland, Spain and Greece) participated in blended learning courses aiming their training for the use of Information and Communication Technologies in real teaching and learning practices. Within this framework, on-line training materials and virtual experiments were created and developed. After the end of the designed courses, teachers were asked to form their own virtual experiments and lesson plans and then to implement their products in the classrooms. The analysis of the data shows that teachers who participated in the VccSSe Project encouraged by the aforementioned blended course, expressed a favourable feedback related to the implementation of their own virtual experiments in the teaching activities.
