THE EXPERIENCE ACQUIRED BY THE UNIVERSITY SCHOOLS OF BASIC GENERAL EDUCATION TEACHERS ABOUT THE IMPLEMENTATION, DEVELOPMENT AND ADAPTATION OF THE EXPERIMENTAL STUDY PLANS WAS THE BASIS FOR THE STUDY. DRAWING UP OF A SURVEY, SENT TO ALL THE CENTRES IN ORDER TO DRAW UP CONSEQUENCES FOR THE FORMULATION OF THE NEW PLANS.
