%X The current study relates to the construction of a course entitled ”°Educating
for the Future”± (EFTF) to equip student-teachers with high order thinking
skills. The course included several stages, programs, mini projects and
learning environments adapted for a ”°technology-assisted pedagogy”± based on
Intel methodology. Student-teachers learned to combine new teaching methods
with information technologies while stimulating interest, thinking and
creativity in their students. 454 student-teachers completed the course.
Evaluation after one year showed a necessity to switch to using also other
pedagogical methodologies. Second year evaluation showed that students demonstrated
required behaviors and skills during their ”°student teaching”± experience and
that they change their attitudes towards adopting 21st century skills.
