| Job specification: | The PhD project is part of a research project on professional development of teachers, granted by NRO, the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research within Education (Nederlands Regieorgaan voor Onderwijsonderzoek). The project will be conducted by the Department of Human Resource Studies at Tilburg University. Stimulating professional development of teachers is an important way to improve quality of education. In this research project, we depart from the positive psychology approach, and more in particular from the strengths-based approach to professional development. A central proposition is that when teachers are supported in identifying and furthering their strengths, this may lead to better professional development than when they are urged to remediate their deficits. |
