About TALIS 2018

The third Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2018) is an international survey that offers the opportunity for teachers and principals to provide input into education analysis and policy development. TALIS is being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and [Name of country], along with more than 40 other countries, is taking part in the survey.

Cross-country analysis of this data will allow countries to identify other countries facing similar challenges and to learn from other policy approaches. School principals and teachers will provide information about issues such as the professional development they have received; their teaching beliefs and practices; the review of teachers’ work and the feedback and recognition they receive about their work; and various other workplace issues such as school leadership and school climate.

Being an international survey, it is possible that some questions do not fit very well within your national context. In these cases, please answer as best as you can.

About TALIS 2018

The third Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2018) is an international survey that offers the opportunity for teachers and principals to provide input into education analysis and policy development. TALIS is being conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and [Name of country], along with more than 40 other countries, is taking part in the survey.

Cross-country analysis of this data will allow countries to identify other countries facing similar challenges and to learn from other policy approaches. School principals and teachers will provide information about issues such as the professional development they have received; their teaching beliefs and practices; the review of teachers’ work and the feedback and recognition they receive about their work; and various other workplace issues such as school leadership and school climate.

In the TALIS study, it is our intention to draw a picture of the different educational practices in all the participating countries. Countries and individuals may differ in their educational approaches. We rely on your expertise to describe to us your work and opinion as accurately as possible.

Being an international survey, it is possible that some questions do not fit very well within your national context. In these cases, please answer as best as you can.
