01 SES 03 A, Teacher Professional Learning and Development in 11 European Countries (Part II)
Symposium Part II, continued from 01 SES 02 A (Part I), to be continued in 01 SES 06 A (Part III)
Contribution
An important aspect of teacher PLD is the relationship between research in education and practice inside the classroom (Ostinelli, 2016). In fact, if the teacher is to become a true professional, s/he should not only be able to model her/his action in conformity with the more recent pedagogical approaches, for instance from the domain of learning sciences (Scardamalia & Bereiter, 2006; Sawyer, 2005), but also be capable of adapting/transforming and/or creating new knowledge and new competencies.
For a similar evolution to happen there is the need for some important changes to happen in the various national school systems. Kennedy’s (2014) classification of various models of professional learning and development gave an insight into how CPD or PLD are interpreted in different systems and institutions, from the provision of training, often in a deficit situation, to collaborative models epitomised by professional learning communities, to transformative approaches underpinned by practitioner research and inquiry.
There is still a variety of practice at individual, institutional, and national levels. Policy varies, terminology varies and practice varies. This symposium entitled “Teacher professional learning and development in Europe” will take the unique opportunity of having education professionals from many different countries together to compare and contrast the different approaches to professional learning and development across Europe. After a first introductory overview and broad analysis on the status of teacher PLD in Europe, scholars from ten European countries will illustrate important issues relative to teacher PLD in their respective national school systems
