Main aims of JoMiTE idea

The partners in this project want to establish a Joint Master in Teacher Education (JoMiTE) for secondary education in September 2010.

Students who participate in the Joint Master will follow courses at least three different universities throughout Europe and will visit schools and work in-service at schools in at least three different countries.

It is not our intention to create a uniform European Teacher. Europe is not only rich in culture, but also in pedagogical approaches. Educational systems, teaching methods and pedagogical thinking differs between countries and cultures. Teachers should learn from these differences.

What is JoMiTE - “Added Value”? JoMiTE-students:

Personal and professional enrichment Learning in multiple contexts: cultural and

pedagogical Better prepared for mobility

University: Transnational cooperations in Europe and beyond Cooperation of universities and schools Exchange of knowledge Attractivness of teacher education

JoCiTE

Project: Joint Curriculum in Teacher Education To develop a curriculum for the joint master Focused on diversity by compatibility, instead of

homogeneity Project funded by EU (Erasmus) Project duration: 2007-2010

During the preparatory meeting for this project the most important issues of the curriculum design were already discussed.

The result of this project is a curriculum design where the objectives of the curriculum, and the structure of the curriculum are clear.

Joint Curriculum: Principles

Divide the full year (60 ECTS) in four blocks of 15 ECTS each

Each block has Teacher’s Role-related Teacher as instructor Teacher as coach Teacher as developer Teacher as researcher

The (course) contents are based upon the teacher roles/competences

04/20/23 10

Four-Block-Curriculum

04/20/23 11

Role definitions (1) Teacher as instructor (introduction

course): The teacher as instructor leads a group of learners,

communicates with those learners about his subject on their level and activates their learning. Basic skills of teaching.

Teacher as coach: The teacher as coach organizes and facilitates a safe

and motivating learning environment and promotes learning taking account of personal and cultural differences of learners based on psychological insights.

04/20/23 12

Role definitions (2) Teacher as developer:

The teacher as developer develops and evaluates learning environment in the broadest sense with regard to (cultural) differences between learners.

Teacher as researcher: The teacher is the bridge between the scientific field

of his subject and the learner and is able to introduce learners into research approaches. He identifies critical situation in his class or school, analyzes the core of this situation, with reference to research literature, and presents the results and evidence based recommendations to colleagues and other stakeholders. He is a critical consumer of relevant research literature.

Learning outcomes

For each block we defined learning outcomes, like: knowledge of effective classroom management

theories ability to write and conduct a lesson plan ability to manage a class ability to observe and analyze, critically lessons

based on relevant research Ability to learn from practice and to discover the own

strengths and weaknesses Also specific outcomes for subject didactics

The curriculum design

This curriculum will be the basis of the future joint master in teacher education that the partners want to establish.

An important part of the curriculum will focus on cultural and pedagogical differences.

Each block of curriculum consists of six elements: Intercultural courses, teaching practice, reflection between theory and practice general courses (like psychology, pedagogy), pedagogical content knowledge and students’ research.

Diversity

Each university can offer one or more of the blocks A student can chose one of the universities that

offer such a block A university is free to design a block with its’ own

cultural/pedagogial “flavor”, but with regard to: The overall structure Learning outcomes

Partners trust each others’ capacity to fullfill the learning outcomes

Flexibility in integration of JoMiTE in each university’s system of teacher education

Entrance requirement according the JoMiTe rules + Intercultural course 1 part

Entrance requirementsStudents who want to subscribe for the JoMiTE program should have:

English language skills on B2 level. Each university will take care of the assessment of their own student teachers before sending them abroad and we trust each other’s choice. Students will be encouraged to take a crash course in the hosting country language.

The subject should, as entrance requirement, be on bachelor level. However, for the final grading, the JoMiTE student teachers should also reach master level for their subject. Be aware that we are speaking of level (in the sense of the Dublin descriptors), not about the amount of ECTS in a certain field.

The student teacher proves that he is motivated for the JoMiTE program

Course aceptation

We fixed that in our teacher training program subjects lists, wich kind of subjects are accepted, when our students learns in partners Universities
