Manual for teacher training “STEAM and Sustainability at the preschool”
The Manual is addressed to teacher trainers and researchers at Universities, and explains how to implement the subject of “STEAM and Sustainability” at the preschool to ECEC professional training.
The Manual for future teachers’ training is be designed and published as a complementary material to the syllabus designed in IO3, providing the backgrounds for a blended-learning course at the university level.
The manual can be used either to implement the new subject at Bachelor level or as a supplementary material to the existing module related to the new content. In both case however, the Manual is designed as a material for blended-learning experience for pre-service teachers allowing them:
– for sensorial, real-life experiences of STEAM and sustainability ideas by participating in experiments, games and challenges, and then
– following the self-paced online course designed in IO4 to enrich their conceptual knowledge and didactic competences.
One of the important aim of blended-learning experience will concentrate on self-regulated learning skills development in future teachers to prepare them to develop similar competences in young children.
