CONTEXT The aim of the training activities will be on how to develop students’ metacognitive abilities, self-regulation and problem solving.

A third dimension will focus on promoting teachers’ mathematical reasoning and self-regulation in order to enable them to develop students’ thinking skills. After the completion of the workshop, participants will be expected to organise their classes and lessons so that their students will be in a position to control and regulate their own cognitive processes regardless of the specific domains and their related assigned tasks. TARGET GROUP Teachers of primary and secondary education.
