Project-Based Teaching/Learning in Schools

The project is being carried out in cooperation with the in-service teacher training institute in Odessa. In 2010, a total of 20 teachers from eight schools, vice-principals from academic and vocational secondary schools, and trainers from the in-service teacher training institute participated. The goal of the training in the first phase was to enhance competence in project-based teaching, with a focus on project management (use of specific methods and tools for project work, development of a handbook). The second phase, in 2011/2012, focuses on the methodology and didactic techniques to be applied in project-based teaching as part of the regular school curriculum. 25 participants from the secondary school sector, trainers from the in-service teacher training institute, teachers from 10 schools in Odessa and its environs, and staff members of regional methodology centres will receive further training during this phase.

Organisational Development of the In-Service Teacher Training Institute in Odessa

The duration of the project is two years. The target group comprises all the department heads and the vice-director of Odessa’s in-service teacher training institute. The objective is to support the institute in its quality development.
