Academic staff from the Faculty of Education- UP completed a study visit to the Universität Graz, where they engaged in in-depth discussions on innovative approaches to pedagogical practice, research insights from novice teachers and mentors, and the mentoring process during the induction phase into the teaching profession.

The visit also included school observations, allowing participants to see how these concepts are applied in real classroom settings and to reflect on effective models of teacher support.

Throughout the visit, the team explored how these valuable experiences can inform the improvement of practice handbooks, course structures, and the ongoing review of study programs. Particular emphasis was placed on strengthening the clear and sustainable integration of values within pedagogical practice courses.

These insights will directly support the enhancement of teacher preparation and contribute to building a stronger, more value-driven education system for future educators.

This study visit was organized as part of the capacity-building activities within the Value-based Education Project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
