Breaking Down Barriers with MAPS – (How) Do Future Elementary School Teachers Use International Learning Opportunities?
This article explores the challenges faced by the University of Vechta in facilitating international experiences for students of teacher education. It presents the MAPS project (International Mobility in the Master's Program in Primary Education), a collaborative initiative between the University of Vechta (Germany), the University of Tallinn (Estonia), and the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano (Italy), funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The project aims to enhance the internationalization of teacher education through three key components: the structural integration of a study abroad program, an international summer school of teacher education, and expanded collaboration among the participating partner universities. The article examines structural and organizational adjustments to promote mobility, factors influencing participation, and students' perceptions of these initiatives. The findings provide insights for future strategies to promote internationalization in teacher education.
