Research on Competence-based Teacher Education • Nearly completed desk and field research
by Paloma Bourgonje & Rosanne Tromp
• Desk study:
conceptual history, and experience in South Africa, NZ, Alberta (Canada) and Pestalozzi Program – Council of Europe
• Case Studies:
Chile, Brazil, India, Malaysia, Slovenia, Netherlands.
• Pilot Countries
: Uganda, Mali
Summary of results of research
• Conceptual tension between narrow behavioral definition and holistic definition:
skills, knowledge, attitudes and values
• Development of CP needs to involve
all
stakeholders = teachers/pupils/ parents • CP can help teaching quality if combined with empowerment & professional growth • CP is part of school-wide quality context
No Gender- and Life Skill teacher competences?
• Research didn’t cover non-formal education initiatives – do they have CP’s?
• Gender- and Life Skill competences did not emerge
anywhere
in the research • Broad interest in a holistic CP (pilot Uganda/Mali:
Head, Heart, Hands, Feet)
• Interest in international guidelines for
development of national CP’s
, rather than development of one International CP.
Questions for this EI World Women’s Conference • What is your own experience with competence-based teacher education?
• What role can/should EI play, in the conceptual and practical development of CP’s at national and/or international level?
• How important are Gender- and Life Skill competences for teachers?
• Can/should this conference take CP’s forward? Which? How? When? By whom?
