The third edition of the “Quality Dialogues”, this time on teacher training study programs, took place on 08.06.2022. Around 140 participants discussed various topics from the handout “Promoting quality development through accreditation – a look at teacher training study programmes” with the speakers and in two parallel panel sessions. The event was once again moderated by Mr. Jan-Martin Wiarda.
We thank you for this and look forward to the Quality Dialogues 2023, which will be dedicated to the topic of “Diversity”.
You can find the mural here and the mentimeter here.
Here you will find the final version of the handout “Promoting quality development through accreditation – a look at teacher training study programs”, which the Accreditation Council adopted on 22 September 2022 at its 114th meeting.
Contents
Teacher training courses are subject to special requirements in their design, implementation and quality assurance, which can differ from state to state and in some cases from university to university. In addition, they are usually combined degree courses with various sub-courses, as two subjects and educational sciences are studied in accordance with the agreements of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs. Being able to adequately reflect and assess all of this in accreditation procedures is a particular challenge.
An internal working group of the Accreditation Council has approached the topic at various levels and developed a handout entitled “Promoting quality development through accreditation – a look at teacher training study programmes”. The handout will be presented and discussed as part of the Quality Dialogues. The feedback from the participants will be included in the final resolution of the Accreditation Council.
The handout is currently being revised, taking into account the feedback from the participants of the Quality Dialogues. Once the revised handbook has been adopted by the Accreditation Council, it will be republished on the Accreditation Council’s homepage.
