TALIS - The OECD Teaching and Learning International Survey

Teaching in Focus

 

The Teaching in Focus briefs shed new light on issues surrounding the teaching and learning environment in schools and teachers’ working conditions. As well as touching on work from different projects on teachers and teaching in the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills, they present data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS), which is the first and only international survey on the conditions of teaching and learning. TALIS fills important information gaps in the international comparisons of education systems. It offers an opportunity for teachers and school principals to give their input into education analysis and policy development in some key policy areas. Cross-country analysis from TALIS allows countries to identify other countries facing similar challenges and to learn from other policy approaches. These briefs will provide policy makers, school leaders and teachers alike with a unique perspective on the experiences of teachers in schools around the world.

Teaching in Focus Brief No. 46 - Unravelling the Layers of Teachers’ Work-Related Stress (14 November 2023)

(coming soon in French and Spanish)

  • Teachers in disadvantaged schools are more likely to have stress from maintaining classroom discipline than those in advantaged schools in half of TALIS participants with available data.
  • Classroom discipline is the source of stress that is most often related to decreased job satisfaction and a reduced desire to continue teaching.
  • Teachers’ job satisfaction is also related to stress from too many lessons and changing requirements in most TALIS countries and territories. However, these stressors are only associated with a reduced desire to continue teaching in a minority of TALIS participants.
