In this respect, it was proposed the teachers¡¯ training programme ¡°PROFILES - Education through Sciences¡±, organized in the frame of the FP7 project ¡°PROFILES - Professional Reflection Oriented Focus on Inquiry-based Learning and Education through Science¡±, which aims to the development of the professional-didactic competences of Science teachers (Chemistry, Physics and Biology), in strong relation to scientific investigation, valorization of pupils¡¯ individual experiences, integrated approaches in the Science field and achievement of an educational demarch¨¦, in accordance with the constructivist paradigm principles. A modern education for and through Science, centered on competences, implies the promotion of an integrated curriculum that gathers Science fundamental scientific contents and abilities, practical skills, attitudes and values. %K integrated curriculum %K monodisciplinarity %K multidisciplinarity %K interdisciplinarity %K transdisciplinarity. %U http://www.icstm.ro/DOCS/josa/josa_2013_1/b_05_Draghicescu_Gorghiu.pdf
