Abstract
In the present context of Romanian education, the curricular reform being in full deployment, more and more often is brought up the issue of : authentic, in-depth creative-innovative, participative learning, with forward-looking with and prospective character; the formation and development of operating knowledge and skills applicable in ecological training situations; the emphasis on education (without ignoring training) - the development of social-relating skills, effective learning, etc., an education that would be based on the four pillars: learning to know; learning to do; learning to be; learning to live with others. At the same time, access to information is extremely easy, as a result it is necessary to impart to students effective strategies for planning, monitoring and effective selection of information required for solving various tasks: school, social or professional related, they can be placed in, formally, informally or casually. Thus, teaching students to learn (information and learning management) is becoming a major goal for contemporary education.
These premises have led to the implementation of a continuous training program for teachers of gymnasium during September-December of the school year 2015-2016 for disciplines within the curricular area "Mathematics and sciences". Specific objectives proposed were: the creation of a suitable meta-cognitive climate at the class level; "online" focus on strategies of planning, monitoring, evaluation of cognitive approach in the process of teaching-learning-problem-solving through verbalization (prompting) of meta-cognitive actions, self-questioning, aspects related to planning, monitoring, evaluation, at the level of the internal language (usage by the teacher of the thinking aloud protocol); emphasis on the relationship between meta-cognitive steps and efficiency of learning and resolving problems. And the resources involved: human resources: teachers involved; methodological and procedural resources - online tests and questionnaires applied through open-source platform "Limesurvey"; material resources - computer labs; time resources (45 hours). |
