KASVU-study

Follow-up study KASVU examines teacher education selection. The KASVU-study is carried out in collaboration with eight universities organizing teacher training: University of Turku (UTU), University of Jyväskylä (JYU), University of Helsinki (UH), University of Eastern Finland (UEF), University of Lapland (UoL), University of Oulu (OU), Tampere University (TAU) and Åbo Akademi University (ÅA).

KASVU-study includes data collection for all teacher students selected through a two-stage selection in the field of education. Questionnaire material is collected from those selected as teacher students, which is supplemented with study register data. In addition the study will follow their study paths and transition to working life.

The research data will be collected from teacher students starting their studies in 2019 (pilot)–2025. The data will be collected for the last time five years after the transition to working life, which means the last data collection will take place in 2035.
