| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
FY2021/22 was significantly influenced by the ongoing Corona pandemic. Face-to-face research was not possible. The project PI made the decision to shift the research focus from students to teachers. This includes teaching practices in class as well as teacher preparation and development. Despite all challenges, research objective (2) has now been completed and results presented at two international conferences. First focus groups with teachers have been conducted in Japan and results were presented at an international conference.

Current Status of Research Progress
4: Progress in research has been delayed.
Reason
Due to the significant shift in research focus from secondary students to teachers (see above), the overall progress has been very limited. Nevertheless, first data gathering has been completed and results presented internationally. It is expected to complete the remaining research activities during the coming academic year.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The research shift from students to teachers allows for the remaining research activities to run smoothly. Also, it seems the impact of Corona will now be rather small. The current research project (new focus) has uncovered some important research gaps in regard to teacher competencies, support, preparation and education. These will be addressed in a subsequent project.
|
| Causes of Carryover |
The remaining budget for 2022/23 will be used to complete field studies as well as conference presentations and open access publication. It is anticipated that traveling will resume normally and field studies won't be interrupted any longer
