The leading partner is the Technological Educational Institute of Crete.\u00a0 The Weizmann Institute of Science\u2019s team is responsible for Quality Assessment working package of the iTEM. The project\u2019s main objective is to improve the teaching, learning, and understanding in 1st-year mathematics courses for engineering, through innovative teaching methods and resources that help students realize the impact and relevance of mathematics for success in their studies and professional carriers. The project\u2019s main outcomes include (a) the integration real-life problems into Calculus I and Linear Algebra I to show the application of mathematics in today\u2019s technology; (b) the development of technology that supports teachers in early identification of students who are experiencing difficulties in learning mathematics, in order to provide timely assistance; (c) the training of teacher\u2019s in the most modern &amp; efficient teaching techniques, such as Problem Based Learning (PBL) and Project Oriented Problem Based Learning (POPBL).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Administration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weizmann.ac.il\/pages\/search\/people?keywords=Shani+Motsa&amp;advanced%5Bemail%5D=&amp;advanced%5Boffice_phone%5D=&amp;advanced%5Bdept%5D=&amp;advanced%5Bemptype%5D=&amp;person_id=&amp;op=Search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shani Motsa <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Links for further reading<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/item.chania.teicrete.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"mailto:Ronnie.Karsenty@weizmann.ac.il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span lang=\"en\">Contact<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Innovative Teaching Education in Mathematics (iTEM)<\/p>\n<p>Leading team<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Ronnie Karsenty project coordinator<br \/>\nDr. Alon Pinto<br \/>\nDr. Jason Cooper<br \/>\nProf. Boris Koichu<\/p>\n<p>Project members<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hadas Levi Gamliel<\/p>\n<p>Summary<br \/>\nThe iTEM project\u00a0is a capacity-building project in higher education, funded by the Erasmus Plus program since 2019.
