Elementary School Placements Worldwide: Austrian Student Teachers Engage with Linguistic and Cultural Diversity Through Hands-on Experience
In line with the Higher Education Mobility and Internationalization Strategy 2020-2030 of the Austrian Ministry of Education, the Pädagogische Hochschule Vorarlberg (PHV), a university college of teacher education, has initiated the project Elementary school placements worldwide. The project gives students the opportunity to develop intercultural competences and teaching expertise through encounters with school systems and people from around the globe. The PHV thus responds to the demands of a globalized world with schools that reflect society and exhibit a high degree of cultural and linguistic diversity. The PHV has collaborated successfully with the Beit Berl College Laboratory School in Israel and the One World Foundation Free Education School in Sri Lanka. Student teachers report on the special experiences they have had and how much it has positively changed their skills and also their attitudes as teachers. At the same time, PHV faculty members who have served as mentors say the experience has broadened their horizons regarding teacher education, schools, and teaching practices worldwide. This article describes both collaborations and outlines a successful (research) project that was implemented and evaluated in Israel during the summer semester of 2022. As an outlook, the project School from the Perspective of the Global North and South - Practical Experiences is presented, with which the PHV will expand and further develop global teaching practice. The elementary school placements are cofounded by the European Commission's Erasmus+ Programme, Learning Mobility for Individuals.
