European Doctorate in Teacher Education – EDiTE Monika Kovacs, PhD ELTE - Budapest Faculty of Education and Psychology Az EDiTE projekt LLP projekt • Lifelong Learning Programme – Erasmus Multilateral Project • EACEA Grant Agreement No. 2012-3214/001001 • 2012 October – 2014 September 2 EDiTE consortium Erasmus Multilateral Project • • • • • University of Innsbruck Eötvös Loránd University - Budapest University of Lower Silesia – Wroclaw University of Lisbon University of Bucharest Advisory board: European Network on Teacher Education Policies (ENTEP) Consultations with EUA, ENTEP, ATEE (Association for Teacher Education in Europe) Aim of the project • The aim is to develop a joint degree program in doctorate education with a focus not only on a comprehensive learning programme (advanced studies) but also an intensive research programme that creates a general framework for its students to realise their autonomous individual research. A European project It aims to develop a shared understanding on European teacher education highlighting common identity and common values of European teachers as well as to promote opportunities of teacher mobility among the member countries. Joint degree program • A joint program resulting in a joint degree (delivery of the curriculum in an inter-university collaboration) • A mobility phase is part of the EDiTE Programme. The doctoral candidates will conduct part of their studies at a partner university of the EDiTE consortium. • The mobility phase and individual student research is supported by a supervisory system with two supervisors. The first supervisor should be from the home university of the student, the second supervisor should be from the partner university where the doctoral candidate studies during the mobility phase of the programme. The curriculum A PhD for Professionals: to do high-level expert and professional work requiring the use of research methods 3 years (6 semesters): 180 ECTS 1) Advanced pedagogical studies (60 ECTS) 2) Research intensive modul (120 ECTS) The curriculum moduls content was published in May 2013: http://www.edite.eu/files/del_2.2_curriculum_m odules_content_130926_APA_final.pdf The research modul • The aim of the EDiTE research program is to enhance the involvement of EDiTE doctoral students, as part of their learning in Module 2, in concrete research activities connected with ongoing research projects and with existing research orientations in the partner institutions. The program is therefore based on existing research activities and orientations in the participating partner institutions. Thematic focuses 1. Teacher education: – National teacher education policies – The professional development of teachers – The development of practical skills and competences in the teaching profession – Curriculum of teacher education – Assuring and managing quality in teacher education – The history of teacher education and teacher policies – Innovation in teacher education – Institutional frameworks of teacher education – Teacher as learners, professional learning communities 2. The teaching profession and the work of teachers – The professional competences of teachers – The knowledge basis of the teaching profession – The social position of the teaching profession – Teacher professionalism – The work of teachers 3. European policies related with teacher education and the teaching profession – Current teacher policies and teacher education policies in the EU and the member states – The history of teacher education and teacher policies in the EU 4. Human resource management and development in schools and HEIs – School level human resource management and development practices – HE institution level knowledge production and knowledge sharing, communities of practices – School level knowledge production and knowledge sharing, communities of practices – Research on the understandings, motivations and behavior of actors and on change them – The development of HRM capacities of school-leaders and the impact of their work – Developing academics as educators 5. Teaching and learning – – – – – – – – Curriculum development Development of adult educators Diversity Teaching and learning innovations The impact of teaching practices on learning The management of the learning process by teachers Teacher/student relationship Understanding of learning 6. Other themes – Exploring research trends on teachers and teacher education – Characteristics and impacts of the socio-cultural environment of education from the perspective of teaching and teachers – Developments and existing practices in the education system and their impacts from the perspective of teaching and teachers – Historical aspects of the teaching profession – Understanding the mechanisms of educational policy from the perspective of teaching and teachers – Research on the understandings, motivations and behavior of actors influencing teaching and teachers EDiTE’s blended learning strategy • BL will increase the level of active learning strategies, peer-to-peer learning strategies, and learner centred strategies used making the programme more attractive but also more responsive to individual needs; • BL will act as one of the key factors influencing the growth of distributed learning environments thus enhancing the mobility of ideas, interaction; • BL will provide an opportunity for reaching a large, European dispersed audience in a short period of time with consistent, semi-personal content delivery being thus increased cost effective. Conclusion • Because of the project a national and an international consultation on teacher education doctorate has been started • Being a member of this project has had an effect on the already excisting programs • Dissemination of good examples might effect other doctoral programmes • More research is needed how to intergrate the research modul into doctoral education (costs, effectiveness, personal requirements, evaluation) Conclusion • Blended learning strategies: another level of a common European education - cheaper than „real” mobility, it can reach more students, more sustainable (expert meetings vs student mobility) - makes specializataion possible: the best expert can teach all the students of the program (vs the „same” course everywhere) - real partnership between experts (one team instead of competition) - real partnership between students (working together on projects) - EDiTE: good modell of partnership development Contact • Halász Gábor [email protected] • Szőllősi Tímea [email protected] • EDiTE ELTE website: http://nevelestudomany.phd.elte. hu/konferenciak/edite/ • Project leader Univ.-Prof. Mag.
