Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Students are introduced to the basic ways of thinking in School Effectiveness and Improvement Research (SEIR) and gain insights into its scientific working methods. They also deepen practically relevant discourses and get to know instruments with which they can improve their teaching competence and contribute to the effectiveness of schools.

Contents:
current international research findings on school effectiveness and school improvement, effective in-service training and effective teaching
Various models and instruments of school quality development at the macro, meso and micro levels in Austria (international studies, iKM Plus, QMS, quality framework for schools, school development counselling, models of teaching quality, etc.).
Evidence-based approaches and research engagement
Internationally successful school improvement initiatives, school turn-around, quality development in schools with large proportions of disadvanteged students, equality of opportunities, character education and social-emotional learning
Models of personal development for (prospective) teachers
effective teaching in times of distance teaching and online classrooms

In the course, the question will be asked on which levels and by which ways the development of quality in schools can be facilitated and in which ways teachers can contribute to a conscious and systematic development of individual schools.
