Abstract
The interest in studying mathematics and sciences has been decreasing over the last fifteen years and this tendency is evident worldwide. This is true for Bulgaria too. Therefore, we directed our attention to the development of a technology for teacher training in mathematics and natural sciences based on European best practices.
The article focuses on the summarized experience from developing a training course for teachers of mathematics and natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology and geography). This course is a result of our own research and our participation as a beneficiary in a European research project under the Comenius Programme of the European Commission.
