Evaluation of Skills-based Teaching and School Development at the Upper Secondary School Level

In cooperation with the Austrian Federal Institute for Educational Research, Innovation and Development (BIFIE), this three-year project analyses the evolution of educational practices and school culture in Austrian upper secondary schools. The key research question centers on to what extent skills-based teaching is currently practiced in classrooms and whether and how the introduction of a centralized school-leaving examination ("Zentralmatura") would affect teaching practices and school life.
