What of the capabilities of teachers?
New pedagogical
methodologies are required
Chalk and talk are not longer
sufficient
![Page 8: Professional Development through eTwinning (Krakow contact seminar)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54633800b4af9f581c8b4b5f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
This poses a huge challenge to..
Teachers already in the classroom
Curricula and assessment systems
Being relevant in the context
Continuous Professional Development!

“Professional development is defined as activities that
develop an individual’s skills, knowledge, expertise
and other characteristics as a teacher.
What is professional development?
This definition recognises that development can be
provided in many ways, ranging from the formal to the
informal.
It can be made available through external expertise in
the form of courses, workshops or formal qualification
programmes, through collaboration between schools or
teachers across schools or within the schools in which
teachers work” (TALIS, 2009: 49).

Teachers’ co-operation (TALIS, OECD, 2009)
Implies teachers working together in groups or
teams to improve educational processes and
outcomes.– Frequency to undertake activities on 6-point scale ranging from
“never” to “weekly
A statistical factor analysis showed that is was
possible to group activities across two indices:
– Exchange and co-ordination for teaching
– Professional collaboration
![Page 15: Professional Development through eTwinning (Krakow contact seminar)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54633800b4af9f581c8b4b5f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Teachers’ co-operation
1. Exchange and collaboration
Discuss and decide on the
selection of instructional media
(e.g. textbooks, exercise books).
Exchange teaching materials
with colleagues.
Attend team conferences for
the age group I teach.
Ensure common standards in
evaluations for assessing
student progress.
Engage in discussion about the
learning development of
specific students.
2. Professional collaboration
Teach jointly as a team in the
same class.
Take part in professional
learning activities (e.g. team
supervision).
Observe other teachers’
classes and provide feedback.
Engage in joint activities
across different classes and
age groups (e.g. projects).
Discuss and co-ordinate
homework practice across
subjects.

Teachers’ co-operation (TALIS, OECD, 2009)
Co-operation among staff creates opportunities for– social and emotional support,
– exchange of ideas and
– practical advice.
It can thus enhance– professionalism,
– feelings of self-efficacy and
– prevent stress and “burnout”.
Different kinds of collaboration may not have the same effects!
![Page 18: Professional Development through eTwinning (Krakow contact seminar)](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54633800b4af9f581c8b4b5f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In schools eTwinning contributes:
1. To addressing the challenges of bringing
21st Century skills into the school
2. To the utilisation of technology to assist the
educational process in a safe environment
3. To the formal and informal development of
skills of teachers and pupils
