Description

A comparison is presented between the training needs expressed by a significant number of physics teachers (about a thousand) and the perception of the effectiveness of the various Association for Physics Teaching (Associazione per l’Insegnamento della Fisica, AIF) in-service training initiatives on AIF’s members. The analysis presents ideas on which initiatives are most effective and how to propose training activities that satisfy the real training needs of in-service teachers. The AIF's commitment to promoting innovative and effective teaching methods in the most diverse contexts favoured discussion in the conference between different stakeholders interested in a widespread improvement in physics teaching.
