  • Policy envisions and requirements for STEM teachers’ competence development 

The case of Greece [EN] [EL], the Netherlands [EN] [NL], Bulgaria [EN] [BG] & Spain [EN] [ES]     

Presented are the outcomes of the review on the state-of-affairs in terms of STEM teachers’ competence development in Greece, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and Spain – as conceptualized and expressed at the levels of policy envisions, policy mediation and practice in each national context. Insights in terms of teachers’ competences requirements as evident explicitly in policy documents (policy level), in teacher training curricula (teacher training level) and implicitly in students’ STEM curricula (practice level) are provided.  Prominent issues for consideration that emerged from the systemic analysis in each national context are outlined.

  • Supporting STEM teachers’ professional learning for competence development: Insights on the space for intervention  

The case of Greece [EN] [EL], the Netherlands [EN] [NL], Bulgaria [EN] [BG] & Spain [EN] [ES]

Which are the systemic opportunities and challenges for supporting STEM teachers’ professional learning for competence development in Greece, the Netherlands, Bulgaria and Spain? How could we take advantage of the opportunities and how could we address the challenges towards ensuring STEM teachers’ capacity building? The questions were negotiated with policy representatives, teacher training providers and STEM teachers in each country in the course of the project’s multiplier events. As an outcome of the negotiation process, critical issues for STEM teachers' competence development were identified and recommendations for policy, policy mediation and practice were articulated - presented in these briefing documents.
