The training of teachers - effective factor in the educational process

During the period 2003-2008 a Rural Education Project was financed in Romania by the World Bank and the Romanian Government. The project focused on the primary and secondary education (compulsory education) teachers in rural areas. Teachers became aware of some methods based on student-centered interactive teaching and continuous evaluation. By applying new methods of classroom teaching and assessment there was a growing interest in physics of the students which led immediately to the improvement of their educational achievements. In schools with AeL (advanced e-learning) laboratories, the teaching activity was much better. AeL physics lessons constitute a new learning approach.
