Averting the Crisis in Trainee Teacher Well-Being -- Learning Lessons across European Contexts: A Comparative Study
Thompson, Shaun; Clarke, Emma; Quickfall, Aimee; Glazzard, Jonathan
Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education, v12 n2 p38-56 Fall 2020
Teacher well-being is frequently high-lighted as a significant contributor to poor retention rates. Whilst there remains a focus on the well-being of serving teachers and pupils, there is a paucity of research directly focusing on the well-being of trainee teachers. This pilot study sought to compare the experiences of trainee teachers from three European countries, in an attempt to identify the resources and challenges faced by teachers during their training. Through the use of interviews and visual approaches, key factors, which appeared to influence trainee teachers' well-being, were identified. Through shifting the focus of training onto the development of communities of practice, the development of interpersonal skills, and supporting the development of strong relationships, it is hoped that Initial Teacher Training (ITT) programmes in England can draw on some best practice from other European contexts to better support trainee teachers' well-being.
