Active In-Service Training on Transversal Skills: Two Pilot Cases in STEM Disciplinary Teaching

Promoting gender equality in STEM disciplinary teaching and self-assessment skills in students requires transversal competences and methodologies that are usually not included in teachers' cultural background. Based on previous experiences, we implemented, in an interdisciplinary team, two in-service training courses for teachers. In one, after introducing the topic of gender and related educational issues, teachers were invited to develop a learning path to be implemented in class in the following months and then we analysed together the results and critical issues that emerged. In the other, a laboratory of self-assessment for students is promoted by an in-service course for STEM teachers.
