Goals and Objectives of Teacher Training Programmes: Lessons Learned from a Multi-Stakeholder Analysis

Constant developments in science and technology are leading more high-school teachers towards updating their knowledge and skills through teacher training programmes. Consequently, various large research institutions are developing an increasing number of such programmes. Although quite some research has been done in the field of teacher training programmes, we know little about the expectations of the stakeholders in such programmes. Therefore, using a three-round Delphi technique, we investigated the expectations of the stakeholders of CERN’s Teacher Programmes on goals and objectives of teacher training programmes in general and at large research institutions, such as CERN.
