Learning outcomes |
This action aims to complement the training of secondary school teachers by strengthening their skills in the use of technological resources. In this way, after completing this training, teachers will be able to incorporate experimental laboratory activities, thematic clubs, or even extracurricular activities into their teaching activities, allowing them to study and understand physical phenomena, sometimes abstract, and making the activities more dynamic and attractive for students, particularly in the areas of science, technology, and engineering.
In this sense, the action is aimed specifically at teachers in recruitment groups 500 - Mathematics, 510 - Physics and Chemistry, 520 - Biology and Geology, 530 - Technological Education, 540 - Electrical Engineering, and 550 - Computer Science.
