.What is TE_REG?

Teacher Education Regenerated (TE_REG ) 

Beyond Competencies - Rethink and redisigning Teacher Education Curricula in the GENAI era is our new project.

The aim is to redesign and further develop teacher training in the age of Generative AI (GenAI) in order to meet current and future challenges in education.

Objectives: What do we want to achieve by implementing the project?

Quality Teacher Education (TE) is essential for quality education as stated in UN SGD4. Evolving societal needs reqire a re-evaluation of TE, tackling both internal and external challenges. Internally, a truly integrated 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 practices that meet today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.

 

Implementation: What acitivities are we going to implement?

With respect to the challenges of both fragmentation in competency-based TE curricula and GenAI, TE_REG explores non-competency-based approaches to TE – including that of a ‚dispositional view on teaching‘ – considering the affordances and GenAI. Additionaly, the TE_REG partners 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.
