Presentation "Von der Bologna-Studienarchitektur zu den Dozierenden in der Lehrer*innenbildung" as PDF

Teacher Educators Matter: Teacher training lecturer – attempt of an evaluation of the current situation and possible perspectives

In the last fifteen to twenty years there have been intensive efforts in Europe to introduce reforms at universities and create a common European educational area. These efforts also extended to reforms in teacher education, which was positioned as an essential player in the education system under the slogan "Teachers Matter".

The restructuring of higher education – including teacher education – represented a powerful turning point. A two-cycle Bachelor's-Master's architecture with a subsequent third cycle, the PhD programme, were introduced. The curricular developments thus initiated – commonly  known as the Bologna Process after the city where the corresponding declaration was signed – triggered discussions, resistance and protests throughout Europe. Rarely has a reform project been so controversially received. Its goals included making curricula more flexible, more interdisciplinary and, not least, more internationally compatible. From today's perspective, and with the benefit of hindsight, there is much to be said for the assumption that the so-called Bologna architecture does not in itself guarantee a high-quality curriculum. Conversely, it does not counteract high quality from the outset. Any curriculum is only as good as the framework in which it is offered and, ultimately, the way its goals and content are implemented and individual players involved.

Before this background, examining the role of teaching staff at universities is a particularly worthwhile endeavour in teacher education. The OECD’s "Teachers Matter" slogan can be expanded here to "Teacher Educators Matter", an aspect that has only recently been given greater attention.

Teacher educators are in a special position as "teachers of teachers". They are not merely mediators of professional knowledge and essential actors in encouraging and accompanying the professionalization process of prospective teachers; they also assume the dual role of "teachers of teachers". Teacher education is a special case in this respect: in no other profession do content and the way it is presented and taught both become the direct object of the professionalization process. This peculiarity is the starting point for the qualification requirements for lecturers in teacher education and is now receiving broader attention in research on teacher education.

In my presentation, I will attempt to take stock of the ongoing discussions on this topic and outline their possible consequences for teacher education.

Presentation "International Trends with examples from Teacher Education in Norway" as PDF

Transforming Teacher Education – a look at international trends with examples from Norway
The goal of any teacher education program should be to provide students with the best possible education for becoming a professional teacher. In order to accomplish this goal, programs need to be well defined with common goals for those contributing to the teacher education program.

We know that teacher education is complex, involving multiple knowledge domains leading towards a professional education for classroom teachers. Programs need components of subject knowledge (and often multiple subjects); they need knowledge of pedagogy and they need knowledge of subject didactics. We also know that teacher education programs also include practice elements where our students are working with teachers in classrooms, thus increasing complexity of this professional education. Classroom teachers as well as campus instructors are all teacher educators!

Transforming teacher education for meeting the demands of future schools is an on-going process requiring innovation and research to drive changes leading towards quality teacher education.

In my talk I will be presenting current international trends in thinking about ambitious teacher education programs. A common understanding of what we mean by quality in teacher education will be discussed based on innovation and research at the University of Oslo.  I will use the University of Oslo’s teacher education as a case study to discuss how we have worked with coherence from the viewpoint of the organization and from the viewpoint of the teacher education student as we work towards transforming our program based on principles of quality.

Some of the innovative ideas that have transformed our teacher education program include: integrated teaching on campus, university partnerships with schools, the introduction of authentic video into teaching and creating social environments for students.

The aim of the project Jean Monnet Chair Freiburg for European Education (JMC-FrEE) is the promotion of basic and in-depth knowledge on European Integration, esp. on European Education. The topic Dealing with Diversity in Education is especially emphasized.

Our main objective is to provide expert guidance to future educators and teachers about European matters, and to prepare them to organize learning and teaching processes in a European context. They should be prepared in Teacher Training for the education of the next generation of active European citizens, both theoretically and practically. There are 3 main areas of our multidisciplinary teaching and research activities:

• Europeanization of Education
• Intercultural Education (esp. Multilingual Education) in Europe
• Education for disadvantaged children (esp. from the Roma-minority) in Europe.
