Abstract

To educate new generations of global citizens, teachers are needed who have developed themselves a professional identity as global teachers. To encourage international students to develop this professional identity, HAN University provides a challenging workplace experience in a 3-week winter course. During this winter course, students practise teaching in a question-driven learning environment in a primary school, which challenges many of their previously held beliefs about their own roles as teachers and about the potential of self-regulated learning for pupils.
