The Experience of New Teachers
DOI: 10.1787/9789264120952-en
Popis: The OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the international survey on the conditions of teaching and learning. This report uses the TALIS 2008 dataset, in which eight per cent of the respondents were teachers with two years or less of teaching experience, to analyse key aspects of new teachers’ work and highlight policy implications. Teachers and their principals reported on the teaching and learning environment of their schools and classrooms, focusing on issues such as classroom climate, the amount of time spent on classroom management as compared to actual teaching and learning, the kinds of early support new teachers receive, as well as the ongoing professional development opportunities offered. Teachers also provided information on their own feeling of self-efficacy as a teacher and on areas in which they felt they lacked skills and could benefit from additional professional development. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the most important issues facing teachers during the early stages of their careers. It examines not only the differences between new and more experienced teachers, but provides a context within which these differences, and any similarities, can be better interpreted. The report highlights the policy implications that might be considered as result of the data analysis. The contents are as follows: Why are new teachers important?; The school where new teachers work; Support and development initiatives for new teachers; The work of new teachers; How effective are new teachers?; Policy implications.
