 He is a Post Doctorate Researcher in Neurophysiology and Human Biokinetics in the School of Medicine University of Ioannina Greece. 
 He continues with a new Doctorate Ph.D. research is in the Department of Primary Education at the University of Ioannina Greece in the Field of Educational 3D Real Models for Physics.
 Dr. Vasileios Drougas Worked as a Professor at the University of Ioannina Greece in the School of Informatics and Telecommunications for 18 years
 Today works as a Teacher in the Public High School of the Greek Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs
Writer of Over 42 Books in Physics Science Mathematics and Books for Kids and is the Creator of over 8 different educational scientific board games. Also, he wrote books for Human Well Being. Many of them certified internationally with awards.
Writer of over 200 Scientific Research Papers and Articles Internationally in World Congresses and Research Books of International known Universities.

Children today are more distant from physical life due to the new way of learning that is related to the spread of new technologies.
 In education, new learning technologies are not so widespread So students can hardly understand their value. But they can use them much more easily than in previous years because information and communication technologies are a big part of their daily lives.
 With the use of new technologies and less kinetic activity, they present problems in the perception of space and geometry. There are also many problems to understand issues of space geometry. They also can not easily understand many issues related to physics and the phenomena of physics.
 For this purpose in my school, I have created real 3D models that present phenomena and laws of natural science to children. This way I can give them something real and more natural. I use simple materials that children can roar in the classroom, at home or a low cost.
 We often make such models together that have to do with physics, chemistry, geography, and the environment. I can thus improve their attention and understand much more than a simple reading of the book. They can also split into groups and work on similar learning models and exchange ideas and opinions about what they are learning.
 So I create a small group of researchers who will later learn to distinguish the basics in each experiment and will be able to construct on their own. They can even become inventors. Discovering and creating the model leads me and my students on the path of using new tactics and tasks where together we can work and create a new task and even a new little book.
 The 3D Real model has been used many times in the past in my lessons in the room and fact with very important results. Many of my students wanted me to continue teaching them this way and I saw significant results in their learning. They quickly realized that they have many qualifications and interests that they could cultivate in the future at the university.
 In my school at 1st and 2ed  High School where I teach in west Greece in the city of Filippiada near my Home Town Arta, we work together with the students to promote such real models in education. And my students like it very much and enjoy the lessons.
 There are many projects in these schools and I want to saw you as one of the very popular in the third class. Over 60 students worked together with me in this model to better understand atomic theory in physics and chemistry. I made several models for the children and I give you some that the children liked the most.
  To sum up, Real Models is heavily influencing education. Therefore, teachers and education researchers are becoming more interested in the value it can add to teaching and assessment. It is really a division of STEM learning. STEM programs today play a new role in education for students and educators. I work in the 3D Real models in education for the last 8 years and I can recognize the effects by using them in education especially in Physics and Chemistry. students who participated in such programs are engaged in collaborative projects where learning and education experience becomes the result of their creative and inner power, involvement, and participation in a positive and motivating environment in a better and more friendly school environment.
