A study on the International Cooperative Distance Lecture and Seminar between Japan, Germany and Thailand to train the elite arithmetic and mathematics teachers using a teleconference system (II)

Abstract

The International Cooperative Distance Lecture and Seminar (abbr. ICDL&S) project was utilized by undergraduate and graduate students from Japan, Germany and Thailand. The 2nd term was held from April/2011 to July/2011 and the 3rd term from November/2011 to January/2012. The participants have shown great interest and they have requested continuous education by the ICDL&S project. And the participants educated in different curriculums, contexts and methods have been gathered by the project and enabled the divergence thinking and the convergency thinking. ICDL&S as part of the teacher curriculums contributed to the development of their scholastic abilities and motivation to study. So, it is suggested that it would be effective to include ICDL&S constantly in training teacher curriculums.
