On Friday, January 24th 2025, we represented our international research project FOOTT PRINTTS at a conference for early childhood education at the University College of Teacher Education Vienna. The conference hosted politicians, experts, educators and researchers as well as stakeholders that support professionalization and personal development. This event was particularly important, as it honors the role of early childhood education, that marks the beginning of children’s educational pathways.
The FOOTT PRINTTS survey addresses early childhood educators and teachers in primary, secondary and vocational education.
In Austria alone, over 1000 educators, teachers, teacher trainers and coordinators have already taken part in our research project by completing the FOOTT PRINTTS survey. The empirical data collection is taking place until February 15th of this year and will generate a dataset of 4000 observation in the European Education Area.
We are grateful to all educators who help us learn how to best support professionalization by sharing their insights, perspectives and experiences! Many thanks to all project partners and collaborating stakeholders, for making this research initiative possible.
