TALIS Timeline
The second cycle of TALIS – TALIS 2013 – surveys teachers of lower secondary education and the principals of the schools in which they work. In addition, countries have an option to expand the survey to elementary and upper secondary schools. Countries can also choose to conduct TALIS 2013 in schools that participate in PISA 2012 .
Separate questionnaires for teachers and principals are developed by international experts in the TALIS Instrument Development Expert Group. Questionnaires are discussed throughout their development with participating countries and teacher representative bodies, in particular the Trade Union Advisory Council (TUAC) at the OECD.
Each questionnaire takes about 45 minutes to complete. The TALIS survey can be completed on line or with pencil and paper.
The survey responses are entirely confidential and at no time are the names of individual teachers, principals or schools identified.
Within participating countries, schools as well as teachers within schools, are randomly selected to take part in TALIS. For each country – except for smaller countries – some 200 schools and 20 teachers within each of these schools are sampled.
