Dialogic is conducting research together with Oberon on team qualifications within the 10-14 education.
Initiatives for 10-14 education have emerged to create a smooth transition between primary education (po) and secondary education (vo). Students following this education system only make their final choice for vmbo, havo, or vwo at the age of 14. In our current system, teachers are trained for either primary or secondary education. To teach students from 10 to 14 years old, teachers therefore formally require dual qualifications, and in some cases, dual staffing of teachers is necessary. To find a solution to this undesirable situation, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) started the experiment with team qualifications from the academic year 2020-2021: this means that the team providing 10-14 education collectively possesses the necessary qualifications, without this needing to apply to each individual teacher. Within the team, teachers and their qualifications complement each other. Schools are eligible for team qualifications if they offer 10-14 education and apply for team qualifications.
The Ministry of OCW has asked Dialogic and Oberon to conduct research on the team qualifications experiment for 10-14 education. The research focuses on the establishment of team qualifications, results and goal attainment, and the effects of the experiment. Based on the findings, recommendations will be made regarding future laws and regulations. In their approach, Dialogic and Oberon combine a depth and breadth approach. The depth approach involves following a maximum of sixteen participants of the experiment over time. These initiatives take part in a baseline measurement, intermediate measurement, and final measurement. We interview or survey school management, school boards, teachers, students, and parents. In addition, there is a less intensive breadth approach, which involves following other initiatives participating in the experiment. The research concludes with a workshop with representatives of the initiatives; this is to validate the findings and provide input for the recommendations.
Throughout the process, interim reports will be submitted to the client three times: in January 2021, September 2021, and September 2022. The final report will be delivered in October 2023.
