abstract = {In-service teacher training must ensure professional development based on both disciplinary and pedagogical research, taking advantage of collaboration between different training and institutional agencies. In this article we will talk about a collaborative experience among different training partners, to increase teachers’ interest in new tools and learning environments. We use different kinds of training sessions to introduce innovative didactic methodologies for teaching and learning involving both university research staff and secondary school teachers. The training project has planned a series of five meetings, divided into a seminar and a laboratorial part on the following topics: new didactic technologies, weather data processing, space missions, image processing, and modern physics. The laboratorial workshops were centered on applications that can be integrated into civic education and dual training. The meetings, followed by a hundred teachers, formed a design basis for the initial teacher training courses that will be activated from 2024 by the Italian Universities.}

abstract = {We report the result of a collaboration among Universities, Schools, and Institutions to increase interest in new tools and learning environments. To address this issue, we provide scientific and didactic support to teachers through different kinds of training sessions to introduce innovative didactic methodologies for teaching and learning. The project involved a training course both in streaming and carried-out sessions with university staff as well as secondary school teachers. We selected current research such as climate change, space missions, and Einstein’s relativity since they are not commonly included in the Italian physics curriculum; we suggested an approach based on some new methodologies and technologies to introduce these topics. We used microcontroller development boards for measuring environmental parameters, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and data processing applied to Open Data from space missions or weather archives. We also suggested a new approach to teaching modern physics. For this purpose, we used a web-based platform to explore the basic concepts of relativistic physics by emphasizing its impact on Global Positioning Systems, which is of utmost importance in everyday life.}
