When nosotros launched the Teaching as well as Learning International Survey (TALIS) to a greater extent than than 10 years ago, nosotros began with a unproblematic question: what tin teachers say us virtually their work? At the time, this was a novel approach; TALIS was the starting fourth dimension global survey to inquire teachers as well as schoolhouse leaders virtually their operate as well as learning environments. But over time, it’s acquire clear that a ameliorate agreement of the weather condition nether which teachers operate (and students learn) tin aid countries human face upwardly various challenges as well as improve policies.

Our starting fourth dimension report, released inward 2008, focused on the most of import issues that teachers human face upwardly inward their careers, such every bit the importance of schoolhouse leadership, professional person evolution opportunities as well as the implementation of effective pedagogical practices. The 2013 TALIS conducted a to a greater extent than in-depth analysis of these topics, as well as broadened its orbit to 34 countries. Now, we’re preparing to liberate findings from our most recent survey side past times side twelvemonth – as well as it couldn’t come upwardly at a to a greater extent than critical time.

The teaching profession has undergone profound transformations over the past times decade. Globalization as well as novel technologies convey changed the science sets that today’s students volition demand to thrive inward their world; as well as educatee bodies are increasingly diverse, with a broad as well as varied make of needs that didactics systems must meet. High-quality teachers tin aid guide students through this changing landscape, which is why effective didactics systems attempt to attract, railroad train as well as retain the best as well as the brightest. We promise that our TALIS findings volition aid advance that goal.

Over the in conclusion ii years, we’ve surveyed to a greater extent than than 240,000 teachers as well as 13,000 principals inward nearly l countries as well as economies. As with previous cycles, the 2018 TALIS covered lower secondary schools inward all countries, though to a greater extent than or less countries participated at the main as well as upper secondary level, every bit well. The framework for the study is based on eleven themes, roofing both emerging issues, such every bit innovation, as well as those that convey endured across previous cycles, such every bit schoolhouse leadership.

In surveying teachers as well as schoolhouse leaders, nosotros asked them virtually their teaching practices – including how they care classrooms as well as assess students – as  good every bit practices that extend beyond the classroom, such every bit how oftentimes they collaborate with peers or participate inward determination making processes. We too gathered information on characteristics that convey been shown to influence teaching practices: educational background; professional person confidence (or self-efficacy); satisfaction as well as motivation; as well as career expectations. And because teaching practices tin vary across dissimilar schoolhouse environments, our survey included information on schoolhouse climate, classroom composition as well as leadership structures, alongside other indicators.

When our analysis is finalized, we’ll move able to compare primal indicators across dissimilar countries, as well as acquire a ameliorate sentiment of how these indicators relate to i another. We’ll too move able to compare as well as empathise indicators at the schoolhouse as well as instructor level, as well as nether dissimilar educational contexts. This sort of cross-national perspective on teaching as well as teacher’s operate tin aid shape novel policies as well as practices across the world.

We’ll move releasing the 2018 TALIS results inward June 2019. Until then, we’ll move describing dissimilar aspects of the survey inward a serial of posts on this weblog – thence rest tuned for more!
