On Wednesday 15 June 2022, the Faculty of Education of the University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, organised a multiplier event at the Faculty of Education, University of Maribor. At the event we presented the results of the project INSHIP and discussed them with the academic staff involved in the organisation of teaching practice. In the second part of the meeting we discussed the highlighted elements and connected them with concrete experiences in organising, implementing and evaluating students’ teaching practice.

From the INSHIP team three members participated, Dr Mojca Juriševič, Dr Mojca Pečar and Neža Podlogar. All in all, the discussion was fruitful and participants praised the opportunity to share information and experiences related to pedagogical practice.

Sixth Transnational Project Meeting

Sixth Transnational Project Meeting

On 16 and 17 May 2022, the INSHIP team held the sixth transnational project meeting. The meeting was hosted by the University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Education, and was special for two reasons: it was the last transnational project meeting and was also organised in face to face, meaning that we could meet in person in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Partners reported and discussed the results of intellectual outputs 1 and 2, evaluated learning, teaching and training activities and made plans for multipliers. We also focused on dissemination of the project results (INSHIP website, publications, final conference) and further opportunities for transferring the project results into study programmes within and outside the education sector.

Meeting face to face after such a long time of Zoom meetings was refreshing – participants were full of ideas, enthusiasm and motivation.

The opening part of the Career Fair included the presentation of the INSHIP model and course, which was developed as part of an international project in the field of teacher education and whose background is a social constructivist paradigm that emphasises situational learning and the role of collaboration and the professional learning community in bridging the gap between theory and practice in teacher education. This, however, can be overcome through authentic learning and in the context of concrete working environments. The presentation was given by Prof. Anita Trnavčević and was listened to by representatives of employers who attended the Career Fair of the University of Primorska. In conclusion, the participants exchanged views and it was a pleasure to observe the reaction to the presented content, which is an important indicator of interest in the project.

We hosted two guest speakers, Barbora Zavadilová (MU & Teach Live) and Ivan Čermák (Elementary school Prague & Teach Live), who presented the Teach Live professionally-oriented teacher training programme, the evaluation methodology and its results, and the development of mentor teachers.

All in all, the third learning, teaching and training activity offered participants the opportunity to hear and discuss examples of good practice, and share their experiences. The insight into an innovative Teach Live programme was valuable and caught the attention of the participants.

The 16th TEPE International Conference on ‘Enhancing the value of teacher education research: Implications for policy and practice’ was held from 11 to 13 April 2022 at the University of Graz, Austria. The INSHIP team also participated at the conference with a presentation entitled ‘Learning opportunities in practical phases in pre-service teacher education – the first results of a survey at five European universities’. It included the first results of a survey among university students with two main aims: (1) to describe how pre-service students perceive practical phases, and (2) to test individual, internship and mentoring-related predictors of pre-service students’ professional competences. For more information, see the book of abstracts. The findings were presented by INSHIP team member Prof Anita Trnavčevič.

Two guest speakers, Dr Svenja Bedenlier and Dr Melanie Stephan from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg presented a topic on developing media competence in teacher education. The INSHIP team partners from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg presented the preliminary INSHIP model and led a discussion on how to integrate media education into it.

The second focus was the INSHIP curriculum. The INSHIP team partners from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg presented its basic dimensions and examples, which were discussed with all participants.

At the end of the second learning, teaching and training activity, the results of the research ‘Perceived learning offers and outcomes in internship of pre-service teachers’ were presented and discussed.

Overall, the implementation of the second learning, teaching and training activity was successful as we presented and discussed various topics. The discussion gave us the opportunity to elaborate on the topics and share our own experiences and views on teaching practice in relation to media education and the curriculum.
