In-service science teachers’ education in the framework of IC Academy project

The main goal of the national project IT Academy is to innovate informatics and science education in order to promote students interest towards their career in the field of informatics and science. This is connected with the increasing role of information and communication technologies in all fields of our society. As a result, there is a different demand on the skills that people entering the labour market should master. Our educational system is generally based on transmissive model of education that is no longer applicable. Different demands require different model of teaching and learning while the key role is always played by teacher. Therefore, one of the main goals of the IT Academy project is to develop and implement educational programmes reflecting different goals of teaching and learning science, in particular. The paper describes the model of in-service science teachers’ education.
