Studying opportunities to learn general pedagogical knowledge along the teaching career

This chapter is dedicated to the learning opportunities that enable knowledge-based practice of teachers. It also contributes ideas for measuring such learning opportunities along the teaching career, drawing on existing cross-country research. This includes concrete recommendations for how to extend the TALIS 2018 teacher questionnaire and the TKS assessment module for an in‑depth study of teachers’ opportunities to learn general pedagogical knowledge in future cycles. The chapter ends with implications for further research on the learning opportunities needed to ensure knowledge-based practice in schools.
