STRIDE - Student-Teacher Transition and Individual Development

What is the aim of project STRIDE?

The aim of project STRIDE is to study the personal development of students during and after their teacher education. Specifically, we are interested in how personality, self-esteem and identity as a teacher develop. In addition, project STRIDE will investigate how everyday experiences (such as emotions and events) help explain these changes.

The project is conducted by researchers from Tilburg University in collaboration with Fontys University of Applied Sciences, where the data collection takes place.

Who funds this research?

The research is funded by a 4-year grant from the call "Healthy Lifespan" of the Herbert Simon Research School at Tilburg University, awarded to Anne Reitz

What is the timeline?

Participants will take part in 4 to 5 different measurements. The first measurement took place in September 2021 (the start of the academic year), with subsequent measurements every four months (January 2022, May 2022, September 2022). Fourth-year students will take part in a 5th measurement in March 2023 to cover their transition to work.

What constructs are measured?

We measured a wide range of constructs linked to personality, self-esteem, teacher identity, work context and well-being. We also measure daily experiences such as personality states, emotions, events, and activities.
