New Teachers’ Working Experience: A Secondary Analysis of TALIS

Determining and understanding the challenges faced by new teachers and their corresponding support needs is a major issue for policy development and for addressing quality issues that many educational systems face. “How well are new teachers equipped to face the challenges they encounter in the classroom and achieve their school tasks/activities?” is the research question of this paper. The analysis uses TALIS data and the results constitute the first step of an on-going research project on new teachers and teacher education and training. The paper provides descriptive statistics related to 1) The new teachers and their activities in the classroom and in the school, 2) The challenges they face and the support mechanisms they benefit from, and 3) The new teachers’ perception of their working environment. When relevant, the results will be discussed in light of the similarities and differences between the new and the more experienced teachers.
