Abstract
The COG-TECH (Cognitive Technologies for Problem Solving and Learning) Network has conducted three international projects since 1994 under the auspices of the European Commission. The main purpose of these projects has been to train teacher educators in the Mediterranean countries to use computers as effective pedagogical tools. The summer schools and local workshops organized by COG-TECH have introduced teacher educators and teacher trainers to a set of computer-based cognitive tools. Applied research in the projects has addressed such issues as the development of appropriate content and effective methods for training teacher educators to use cognitive technologies in teaching, the identification of the strengths and limitations of several cognitive tools for different learning situations, and the factors affecting implementation of information and communication technology (ICT) innovations in education in Turkey.
