Meanwhile, an average of 70% of secondary teachers reported that their formal education included pedagogy training for all the subjects they teach, and nearly one in four (23%) reported participating in this training for some of the subjects they teach. The proportions are similar for practical components: on average, 67% of teachers reported that their formal education included classroom practice in all of the subjects they teach, while 22% reported classroom practice in some of the subjects they teach. Results from TALIS analyses suggest that not only does a teacher's formal education, including teacher initial education, help him or her feel better prepared for work as a teacher, but the specific elements included in that training, such as content and pedagogical training, and classroom practice, can make a significant difference as well.
