The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS) is the largest international survey that provides a voice to teachers and school principals. The TALIS questionnaires ask about a wide range of issues, including professional development, teaching beliefs and practices, feedback and appraisal, recognition and job satisfaction, and school leadership and management. TALIS relies on teachers' and school leaders' expertise as professionals to describe their experiences, schools, and working conditions as accurately as possible.
TALIS is the outcome of a collaboration between its participating entities (countries and territories), the OECD, an international consortium, Education International (representing teacher unions) and the European Commission. It also benefits from the input of other social partners, such as UNESCO. TALIS is a periodic survey: after its first four successful cycles in 2008, 2013, 2018 and 2024, the fifth cycle of TALIS will take place in 2030. Find out how to join TALIS.
