The mentoring program has been verysuccessful, as indicated by the number of return attendees and alumni of the Bio-Discoveryprogram, who recommend their younger sisters or friends to the program. According to ourassessment data, the Bio-Discovery Program has been the most rewarding part of the programfor several of the REU participants, even though it also presented a challenge, as it limits theamount of time REU students can dedicate exclusively to their research projects.

Itis important that instructors take advantage of curriculum developed by teachersin a large collection of Unit Plans that integrate technology. Models ofmeaningful classroom projects that integrate instruction in thinking skills alongwith tools and strategies for developing one’s own exemplary technology-supported learning are always encouraged. They focus on three areas:1. It is important to learn how project-based units can effectively engage students in meaningful work and promote higher-order thinking.2. It is necessary to see how questions and ongoing assessment keep project work focused on important learning goals

Students’ capability and confidence to solve a particularproblem, and their subjective perception of the task-value may correlate with the actual planning,monitoring, and regulating during problem solving activity.

Consequently the unique conditions that currentlyexist in Moldova are conducive to unconventional approaches for resolving the presentdependence on foreign energy.

These programs seekto provide information and other support for women and girls, allowing them to make betterinformed decisions with respect to their educational activities and career planning.6,7 Given theproliferation of such efforts, some measurable effect on “entry and persistence” of women intothese professions should be expected. However, data do not indicate substantial gains.4,8The possibility exists that the apparent failure of these programs is due to a failure to implementor adopt them broadly. Teachers may lack the time to locate and evaluate additional resources toaddress such gender equity issues, or may lack the budget to adopt commercially

The major goal is to re-arrange the educational resources in such a way that they can bemore efficiently used while the quality of graduates can be further raised. Firstly, several so-called the “strategic industries” are identified depending on the country’s economy plans. In themean time, the programs that matching with those strategic industries are initiated one afteranother by MOE. Unlike the traditional educational programs, the REAP emphasizes the inter-university collaborations.
