Results in brief

European Joint Doctorate in Teacher Education

EDiTE was developed by a consortium of five universities, pursuing the following goals: (a) develop an original, transnational and interdisciplinary doctoral program in teacher education; (b) create a closer link between practice and theory in teacher education; (c) move transnational research in teacher education nearer to national educational institutions; (d) provide a forum for sharing theoretical knowledge and good practice from an European perspective; and (e) promote standards, procedures and unifying principles for the design, organization and development of doctoral study programs in teacher education. The transnational program offers a leading-edge contribution to provision and qualification in European teacher education. Early-stage researchers from around the world were recruited to jointly conduct research on the overarching research dimension “Transformative teacher learning for better student learning in an emerging European context”. The EDiTE community has grown into a European network for innovation in teacher education, accessible to academics, practitioners and policy makers. Through the complementary expertise of the consortium partners in different methodological research approaches, insights on a European comparative level were gained. The focus on diversity and cross-cultural perspectives helped in searching for the identification of ‘Europeanness’ within the dynamics of professionalism, policy-making, and social practice.

Project objective

The EDiTE joint research programme is a response to the current challenges in the complex processes of transformation of education professionals' career development. Particularly in focus is the teaching profession as central to all education systems. In the research area it is essential that typical national or regional perspective found in TE programmes are extended to include transnational perspectives. A European perspective on the academic level can only be fostered through joint European research.The EDiTE programme is a PhD programme for professionals, which determines the philosophy and values of the curriculum. The most important implication is that researchers/PhD candidates are initiated into academia and versed in high-quality research, co-constructing research questions and applying appropriate methodology in response to practical and theoretical questions emerging from and in practice. Because the field of education is multi-disciplinary and involves different levels the EDiTE programme is targeted at professionals involved in teaching and learning at all points in their professional lives (lifelong learning) including qualified teachers and other professionals. The doctoral candidates will be involved in collaborative research, with individual approaches contributing to the transnational knowledge base within a common framework. A key aspect of the joint research activities is ensuring institutional and transnational knowledge sharing and transfer between universities and schools or other educational institutions. The overarching research theme “European perspective on transformative professional learning in relation to the impact of teaching” includes not only the issues of “European teacher” and “Europeanness” in education systems, but it also focuses on learning which is transformative in a professional context.
