Teachers Background
School of Specialization (SSIS)School of Specialization (SSIS)
Duration: two years
Subjects: Technology Education in Low secondary school,Electronics (for the future technical and professional institution teachers ) Informatics ( for future teachers in technical and professional high schools), Special Pedagogy, Pedagogical common program, Didactics, Sociology of education.
Certification: the specialization gives the trainer the possibility to teach both in Low Secondary schools and High Secondary Schools.
As a part of WP3, an appropriate questionnaire was prepared and filled out by selected users from contact database.
The principal aim of the questionnaire was to put in evidence the differences in comprehension of technology education within the different partner countries, as well as to assess the possibility to establish specific, industry oriented modules, dealing with the needs of the business and industrial sector.

On line surveyConclusions about “practice“practice””
Most users agree that Technology Education should be conducted in a manner to cover primary education, secondary education and higher education as well.
Most users think that Technology Education should be primarily conducted in a classroom environment, but they also think that a part of the formation should be carried out in a workshop environment.

On line surveyConclusions about “method”“method”
The users acknowledge the importance of Technology Education in bringing forth the vocational interests and talents of the students.
The importance in Technology Education of teaching both theoretical aspects and practical subjects is put in evidence by the users.
The method should comprise projects where knowledge is “transformed” into practice.
Technological studies should involve applying technological knowledge & processes to real world experiences using up-to-date resources.

WP3
On line surveyConclusions about “vocational guidance”“vocational guidance”
The results of vocational guidance questionnaire put in evidence the importance of allowing the students to recognize their own fields of interest, by involving them in different activities.
Vocation guidance may also involve survey trips, conferences, and meeting with professionals.
The primary aim of these activities is to allow the individuals talents of the students to emerge and develop.

On line surveyConclusions about “teacher“teacher””
The teacher should have both technological skills and human capabilities: In fact, he should have sufficient knowledge and experience in various technological subjects, but at the same time he should be able to encourage students to be autonomous and responsible

On line surveyConclusions about “teacher training“teacher training””
The users indicated that the a Technology Education teacher raising program should contain different fields of learning, such as technology culture, vocations, project studies, etc. Some doubts have been expressed about the affirmation that a raising program should be focused on industrial technology and design.

For each subject in the training material, some items have been analyzed in more detail, so as to complete the knowledge about the argument
Because of the similarity with some issues developed in Main Module 3, some overlaps that initially occurred were changed
The Main Module 4 was under the charge of the Greek Partner, thus a close collaboration with them allowed to set up common outcomes and objectives.
