Objectives: The poster/presentation
will be made in collaboration with the french project partner (CIEP,
Centre international d'é´tudes pédagogiques, Alain Kokosowski).
The Leonardo da Vinci project TEVAL intents to contribute to the
reflection and improvement of teaching competencies. The broad aims of
the TEVAL project are:
-
Promoting a joint work of different educative subsystems for the
development of a joint strategy for evaluation of training and teaching
competences
-
Developing a set of common principles for evaluation and validation of
teaching and training practice competences, adapted to different levels
and contexts
-
Designing a general framework model for that evaluation, applicable and
adaptable to all educators, whether they work in primary or secondary
level or in the subsystem of vocational education or training
Description: Recently, changes in the field
of teaching and training have led to a shift in the demands on teachers
and trainers. Teachers and trainers, especially in the VET-sector, are
becoming more and more organisers of learning environments; they have to
network and collaborate with community members, parents and colleagues
from other schools. Additionally, role changes include the use of new
information and communication technologies.
In the first phase of the project, each partner (respectively from
Portugal-IPB/ESEB, Germany -UNIVATION, France- CR2i, Estonia-Tallinn
Pedagogical University, Greece-WEGRE England-ENTENTE) has been
developing a national framework of the existing approaches for
evaluating practice concerning teaching and training quality. These
results have been published in a transnational report.
Secondly, the partnership found five domains of impact on common
intervention. In each of these domains, key competences have been
identified. The mastery of the whole key competences defines teachers'
and trainers' professionalism.
In each national context the competence model and the evaluation
approach have been discussed with relevant stakeholders. A survey has
been carried out in each participating country.
Furthermore, an evaluation handbook and supporting materials for initial
and continuing teacher training are going to be provided and
disseminated.
The poster shows the referential of common competences, which is the
guide-tool for the conception of the Personal Professional Profile, used
in the evaluation process.
