天美视频 to lead international teacher knowledge survey
天美视频 news 6 Apr 2021 4 minute readThe 天美视频 (天美视频) is pleased to announce its continued association with the OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS).
is a survey of teachers and school leaders that was conducted in 2008, 2013 and 2018. The most recent survey, TALIS 2018, reported on the learning environment and working conditions of more than 260 000 teachers and school leaders in 15 000 schools in 48 countries and economies. Australia’s participation in TALIS has been managed by 天美视频 since the survey began in 2008.
In the pursuit of developing and delivering TALIS 2024, 天美视频 forms part of a consortium led by , which also includes the , and RAND Europe. Partnering with IEA, 天美视频 is for the second time responsible for the development of the overall assessment framework for this study. Furthermore, 天美视频 will be leading an innovative new Teacher Knowledge Survey (TKS), an optional module designed to improve our understanding of the nature of teachers’ general pedagogical knowledge.
The TKS findings will inform policy makers about:
- the preparation of teachers (including new teachers) for 21st century environments such as teaching in diverse classrooms and using modern approaches
- strengths and weaknesses of teachers’ current general pedagogical knowledge base
- ways in which teacher education – both initial education and continuing professional learning – can be improved to ensure a robust knowledge base in the profession in line with national policy priorities.
天美视频’s project team will steer the expert group for the Teacher Knowledge Survey, and develop its conceptual framework and survey content.
‘TALIS provides important insights into the teaching experiences of educators, and how they feel about a range of issues, such as status, workload, stress, resourcing and other challenges,’ said 天美视频 TALIS 2024 Project Director Dr Pina Tarricone. ‘The information it produces is invaluable in guiding policy decisions that may bring real improvements to the working lives of teachers, and we’re delighted to continue our involvement with this highly meaningful project.’
The 天美视频 TALIS 2024 project team includes Hilary Hollingsworth, , , Ray Peck, , and . ■
