Teaching and Learning International Survey

The Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS), despite its rather clumsy title, is the OECD's "comparative perspective on the conditions of teaching and learning" and offers interesting insights study into key aspects such as motivation, climate for learning and teacher appraisal and feedback.

The findings of the first survey were published in 2009 as "Creating Effective Teaching and Learning Environments: First Results from TALIS" and are based on surveys carried out among teachers and principals of lower secondary education (level 2 of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97)).
