The PAEDEIA project (Pedagogical Action for a European Dimension in Educators' Induction Approaches), funded by the European Commission, aims at developing support for new teachers and to build up a bridge between pre-service teacher education (www.paedeia.net) . With reference to the Ancient Greek concept of ‘paedeia’ (also spelled ‘paideia’; i.e. the idea of educating ‘good’ human beings and promoting a good life in a world worth living in), the project contributes to the European debate about practices of teacher induction and aims at: a) retaining young teachers as change agents; b) stimulating student teachers and young teachers for lifelong learning; c) providing a platform for the discussion about the practices of teacher induction in Europe. The project is addressing these challenges through the deliverance of three parallel models for induction: one in Finland, one in Turkey and one in Sweden. In this presentation the three models will be introduced, as well as a comparative research framework for analyzing practices of induction, informed by the practice theory (Kemmis & Grootenboer 2008; Kemmis & Heikkinen 2012).
