title = "An overview of organizational approaches for teacher professional development in europe",
abstract = "The importance of teacher professional development for improving the pedagogical competences of engineering teachers is being stressed in higher education institutions. In the context of the ongoing EXTEND project for the development of centers for teacher professional development in the Russian Federation and Tajikistan, was developed an analysis of current organizational approaches for improving engineering education and teacher professional development in the European Union. A set of 19 organizational approaches for teacher competence enhancement were identified and analyzed. The analysis resulted in two main recommendations to be developed in schools of engineering and that are being developed in the EXTEND project.",

note = "Funding Information: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This work is based on outcomes of the project EXTEND “Excellence in Engineering Education through Teacher Training and New Pedagogic Approaches in Russia and Tajikistan” that has been funded with support from the European Commission (Project Number: 586060-EPP-1-2017-1-RO-EPPKA2-CBHE-JP). This publication reflects the views only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein. The authors would like to thank to the members of the consortium and all that made possible to collect the data we used in this paper. Funding Information: The professional development of teachers is developed, in different schools of engineering, through organizational entities, which deliver training for teachers, give support to the engineering education research or for (re)designing innovative active learning approaches with students. The ERASMUS+ Capacity Building EXTEND project aims developing Centres in Higher Education institutions at the Russian Federation and Tajikistan with the support of four HEI from the European Union (EU). One of the activities of the Work Package 1 (WP1) of the EXTEND project is aimed to provide an analysis of best European practices in teaching engineering disciplines and best practices in teacher competence enhancement activities. The output of this analysis will be widely relevant to support and inspire the development of the EXTEND Centres. Thus, this paper aims to present an analysis of organizational approaches for teacher competence enhancement. This analysis is part of the ongoing EXTEND project and will contribute for supporting teaching professional development in engineering education, in terms of competences development and potential impact on teaching practice. Moreover, it will support the inventory of tools, methods and approaches utilized by European universities for teaching engineering disciplines in higher education institutions.
