Following teachers
of physics, this year, for the first time, twelve physics trainers attended a week-long training course in the European Center
for Nuclear
Research.
Within a week
the physics trainers visited a number of
scientific research laboratories, conducted school experiments on the
ground, also listened
to
the lectures
by foreign
and Georgian
physicists working in the
CERN on the issues of modern physics and its role in the development of medicine,
information technology and other fields. In addition, the teachers had the
opportunity to get acquainted with the methodology of teaching physics provided
by a specially
invited specialist.
The trainers
were selected through a competition
in
the summer and their internship was fully financed by the National Center for
Teacher Professional Development.
For the last
six years more than 100 teachers have been trained in the European Center
for Nuclear Research. Apart from physics teachers, the TPDC annually organizes
training
programs for teachers of various subjects.
