| Popis: | As the increasing interaction of people, countries and cultures unfolds today’s teachers must raise standards and manage dealing issues based on cultural differences. The discourse concerning cultural interactivity should be major in Teacher Professional Development (TPD). It is widely accepted that Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) and especially 3D platforms as Second Life (SL) could enhance Social and Cross cultural skills as Information and Media Literacy. In this paper we emphasize the importance of TPD by presenting a well-designed conceptual framework and the 3D VLE affordances that were utilized and exploited in the context of an educational experiment in SL environment. This framework is using Cognitive Apprenticeship and Problem Based Learning as background theories and CSCL strategies as well a script built on ancient Greek myth of Jason and the Argonauts. This study reveals that engagement of teachers being exposed to SL training, is significantly increased. |
