Abstract

Hellenic Pedagogical Institute is implementing a large-scale national teacher-training project. The project aims to expand teachers' understanding in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills in order to support their efforts in utilising ICT effectively to teach particular subjects. Central issue of the design of the project is its flexibility to accommodate the various professional needs, background knowledge and skills, learning styles and inclinations of the teachers. The training process is totally decentralised, transferring to the schools the responsibility for the selection of the training model and the training providers. Final target of the project is the establishment of a life-long training mechanism based on the operation of sustained learning communities around the country. In this paper the design principles as well as the implementation process of the project are presented.
