▶Objectives
Quality TE (TE) is essential for quality education as stated in UN SGD4. Evolving societal needs require a re-evaluation of TE, tackling both internal and external challenges. Internally, a truly integrated en integrating perspective is developed as an alternative to fragmented competency-based teacher standards. Externally, GenAI is put forward as a supportive tool that facilitates teachers to focus on core tasks. Six TE-institutions sharing UNESCO principles develop new conceptualizations and
▶Activities
With respect to the challenge of fragmentation in competency-based TE curricula and GenAI, we explore non-competency-based approaches to TE – including that of a ‘dispositional view on teaching’ – considering the affordances of GenAI. Additionally, we conceptualize context-specific TE curricula that reflect this shift and develop a tool that can be used by decision-makers and teacher educators when considering fundamental innovations in their teaching and learning practices.
▶Impact
1) An innovative conceptualization of regenerated TE by considering internal (fragmentation) and external (GenAI) challenges. 2) Context-specific translations of this conceptualization in different TE curricula 3) A theory-, research- and practice-based, discretionary and straightforward TE_REG design tool for education policy makers and curriculum developers 4) Wide dissemination of the conceptualizations and products in TE communities
