What satisfies science teachers?
Wine? Chocolate? Apparently not
In 2015, as part of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the OECD surveyed 32,071 science teachers in 19 countries. The countries suffer not only from difficulties recruiting science teachers but also from them leaving the profession. Released today, the analysis aims to understand what makes the working environment and conditions of science teaching satisfying enough for those that do stay, despite the job’s challenges.
