Teachers ’ willingness to improve their knowledge

The need of training in a specific domain is strongly depended on the participants’ willingness to do it. As expected, the teachers are willing to improve their knowledge focusing on renewable energy; they have not been involved in training sessions in the field and here the differences among countries were not significant.

c. Information sources accessed by the teachers

The main information sources are from scientific literature and Internet — based, this fact being the same in all countries involved in the questionnaire.

In the context of a training session, a special attention should be paid to the development of information resources, that should gather information adapted to teachers’ needs.

f Appreciation of the interest related to specific study chapters

The subjects proposed by the questionnaire designers were well appreciated by the respondents and they were proposed as part of in-service training course curriculum, as it will be further presented in the paper.
