INSTRUMENT FOR RESEARCH ON TEACHERS' PROFESSIONAL WELL-BEING (EN/US)

Dear Teacher,

 

We invite you to participate in a survey on the Professional Well-Being of teachers. This questionnaire is part of the project Teaching To Be which includes eight European countries. The data analysis will be conducted with all participating countries and aims to suggest some recommendations based on the evidence from this research.

We hope this research will make a significant contribution and enhance the dignity and credibility of teachers at an international level.

This research respects and guarantees ethical principles of anonymity and confidentiality. You should not indicate your name, school, or any other information that would allow identification of yourself or the institution you work for.

This research is quantitative in nature and the data will be statistically analyzed.

Completing the questionnaire will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
