1. Main drivers of learning outcomes
The most important factors for learning outcomes, according to European teachers, are:
- Students' intrinsic motivation
- Coaching and feedback from teachers, and
- Access to learning materials.
2. Significant difference in access to learning materials
Regional differences in access to learning materials are significant, with some teachers expressing clear dissatisfaction. The difference in funding models might play a role for the access of learning materials and lower satisfaction in some areas.
3. Strong preference for blended learning
95% of European teachers prefer the use of blended learning materials – i.e. a combination of printed and digital resources. Teachers in highly digitalised markets have a stronger appreciation for print.
4. Personalisation - a key for learning outcomes
Over 90% of European teachers agree that personalisation, where the learning environment is tailored to the students' needs and progression, is essential for better learning outcomes.
5. Most teachers embrace analytics
Most European teachers are positive to the use of analytics to track, compare, and advise on student performance, with some exceptions in Germany, Belgium Wallonia, and Finland.
