The new subject
requires students to work on interdisciplinary projects in small
groups, and teachers to facilitate initiative, choice, experimentation,
and individual/group responsibility (Ministry of Education,
2011). In Greece, apart from inductive training, further in-service
education is not obligatory; in this context the first act was to
support the implementation of this innovative subject by way of an
optional in-service training program for high school teachers,
provided by The National Organization for Teachers’ Training (i.e.,
OEPEK) in June of 2011.
