Symposium
Contribution
This presentation is based on interviews with representatives of municipalities as school owners. The interviews were conducted in the spring of 2023 based on a semi-structured interview guide with the following questions: - In the autumn of 2022, the first cohort of the five-year master's education for primary school teachers started to work in schools. What expectations do you have in the short and long term (time interval of up to five years) to this new generation of schoolteachers compared with previous cohorts? - How can you, as a representative of the school owner, help to ensure that NQTs are offered mentoring and induction in line with the national principles and obligations for the supervision of NQTs? - Based on the induction schemes you have had in your municipality until now, what changes might be appropriate with regard to this new generation of teachers? - Which factors related to school culture and management at school level do you think have the greatest significance with regard to NQTs development and learning in the short and long term? - What role and significance do you think mentoring as a professional communication genre and learning strategy can have for the NQTs in the short and long term? The interviews have been transcribed and analyzed with reference to thematic analysis (Braun and Clark, 2006) and stepwise-deductive-inductive method (SDI) (Tjora, 2021). We will present the main findings from the survey. Our aim is to develop research- and experience-based knowledge when it comes to the further development and implementation of the National Framework for Mentoring and Induction for NQTs.
