About the MAPprOject   
“The MAP project: A science teacher training program based on Science Education and History of Science” is a European Commission project (Comenius 2.1) that aims to enhance the quality of science education by encouraging transactional cooperation among five European universities. Science education as well as history of science are the two main pillars in the development of a science teacher training curriculum.
“The MAP prOject” aims:
- To make a productive synthesis of the contemporary theoretical insights and research outcomes both of history of science and science education in order to produce situated in practice in-service science teacher training strategies.
- To develop and evaluate innovative training situations for in-service science teachers by using case studies from history of science.
The MAP prOject is an acronym formed from the names of the European cities where the five co-operating institutions come from, that is: Thessaloniki (The), Madrid (M), Athens (A), Pavia (P), Oldenburg (O).
