Six VSU professors, who were trained within the scope of ERASMUS+ PRINTeL project, conducted the first phase of teacher training course for the 2019-2020 academic year since November 2019. 11 lecturers took part in that course.
The course aimed at promoting the development of professional qualifications, pedagogical skills of the participants by utilizing modern information technologies and methods in teaching. This training was also an exchange of experience, as six trained professors parallelly took part in it. The training was carried out with their own initiative. The professors were able to share with each other their acquired knowledge and skills, to discuss the most effective and less effective options due to specific limitations. Eleven participants successfully completed the course.
The second phase of teacher training for the 2019-2020 academic year was scheduled in spring. 30 lecturers applied for participation, 18 of which started in March. Unfortunately, the course is currently suspended due to the pandemic.
