Inclusion of Teacher Constructivism in Systematic Professional Continuous Development
Result description
To improve the quality of school education and lifelong learning, it is necessary to support teacher continuous professional development. The aim of the study is to present outcomes of research of innovative teacher professional continuous development courses. Design-based research was used as the main research method. A key result of the research is the finding that teacher education, including professional continuous development, has to be closely linked with practical experience through the use of a systematic and teacher constructivist approach. Constructivist principles and characteristics of teacher professional continuous development courses were studied within the PROFILES project. Building up teachers’ pedagogical competences, using their own experience from learning and teaching and thus connecting pedagogical theory and practice is the core of teacher constructivism.
