Handbook for in-service teacher training

Abstract

This Handbook for in-service teacher training is one of the outcomes of the EHISTO (European history crossroads as pathways to intercultural and media education) project. It is intended for use by teacher instructors in both the University context and local institutions during in-service teacher training.

The handbook is made up of two parts:

- Part 1 introduces the reader to the main project outcomes both in terms of methodological approach to the development of intercultural and media-critical competencies among pupils, and in terms of didactical strategies and materials to be used in Secondary School History classrooms.

- Part 2 proposes the design of a course devoted to Secondary School in-service teachers, with the aim of providing participants with both a framework, as well as suggestions for practical use of the learning material in the EHISTO Learning Objects (LOs).
