Description

I will present recent progress in changing the way Physics is taught at Ovidius University of Constanta, Romania, following two projects the university has been involved in: Restart4Edu, an Erasmus+ project focusing on Project-Based Learning and a national project preparing the trainers for master's programs in education.
