1.1. Curriculum design

Based on the findings provided by the needs analysis, the in-service teachers’ training course curriculum, as presented in Table 1, was designed.

The sustainability concept was considered in the curriculum: technical dimension — specific modules related to renewable energy systems; ecological dimension — modules related to environment (pollution/protection, monitoring and management), and also to wastes management; cultural dimension — modules related to novel teaching methods and to the didactics required by the implementation of the subject of renewable energy in the school curriculum, also the applied English language was proposed, considering that the teachers are not native English speakers.

At the same time, the course materials were developed by the partners in the project, according to a general structure of the syllabi agreed in the partnership. Thus, it is considered that the in-service training course has a deep international character, combining the experience in different countries, and different positions in the socio-economic system.

In the Transilvania University and also in the College for Natural Sciences, sets of training kits were developed this representing important output of the SEE EU Tool project. The kits are intended to be used by student-teachers during the in-service training course, but also during the instructional activity.
