Teachers' Training Design Model and Decision Support System

This paper discusses the problems in the design of teacher's training as a form of professional development. The research is focused on design of support tools for teachers helping them to apply in effective way digital technologies in their practice. The complexity of such instructional design goal contributed to design of fuzzy logic based model. On its base was developed expert system (ES) to support decisions during the course design. In this paper we present the experts methodology for knowledge formalization. Further we describe the theoretical framework including main components in the model, their characteristics and relations. Implemented prototype of the fuzzy logic based expert system Open Virtual World (OVW) is presented, as well.
