The authors of the present study believe that RET programs,and especially the model described here, clearly and effectively address each of theserecommendations. Further, RET programs have been shown to improve science teachers’confidence in content knowledge and in connecting

The paper shows how collaboration can be taught in a classroom setting.According to the study, agile competency can be divided into three phases: TechnicalCompetency, Collaboration Practices, and Agile Values. After the first year, students observedimproved technical competency. In the second year, agile collaboration lectures connecttheoretical knowledge to actual practices.Scharf and Koch [16] discuss the importance of simulating real-world agile projects with Scrumor XP.
