New Report online

We’re very excited to inform you that our report has been published online, bringing together the key findings of our desired phase.

This desired status report is structured in 2 sections. Section 1: Transnational Literature Review This section comprises a synopsis of the literature that was reviewed in each of the TUTOR partner countries, including Greece, Austria, Turkey, and Ireland, as well as at the EU level. The literature provides an insight into both the national and EU policies, frameworks, and research related to inclusive education.

Section 2: Findings from Open Consultation This section reports on the desired status of inclusive education based on the findings of the open consultation process conducted by TUTOR partners in Greece, Austria, Turkey, and Ireland during December 2022 and January 2023.

These consultations included teachers in second level, Vocational Education and Training (VET), and Further Education and Training (FET), as well as stakeholders in education in the partner countries. Stay tuned for more! You can read the full report here!

First Phase of Tutor “Research”: Desired, Existing & Upskilling

The initial phase, “Research,” is structured into three steps: “Desired,” “Existing,” and “Upskilling,” all aimed at gathering comprehensive insights into requirements for inclusion in schools.

Desired Insights: We took a look at the ambitions educators hold for inclusive teaching and tried to delve deeper into their long-term goals and desires, exploring their vision for creating an inclusive educational environment.

Existing State: We did further research to uncover the current state of affairs for both teachers and students, seeking to understand their perspectives of inclusive education what they consider important, and their current skills teaching.

Upskilling: At the moment, we are evaluating educators’ readiness to upskill in inclusive teaching and their attitudes toward inclusion. Therefore, we want to identify areas where further improvement is necessary.

To gather this vital information, we conducted diverse research activities: Desk Research, Focus Groups, Interviews, Consultation Talks and Online Surveys. How exactly we did this you can read in our next Post
