STiR has recently completed a research study with Microsoft Research India. This study aimed to understand the applicability and experiences of lifelong learning, as understood through teacher metacognitive capacities, motivation, the ability of teachers to mitigate prevailing Covid-19-related challenges, and teachers’ beliefs and outlook for their futures.
The highlights of this study are given below:
- Teachers perceive themselves as motivated and fundamentally adaptive (metacognitive).
- All teachers associate themselves with being lifelong learners.
- All teachers have pointed out the importance of motivation and learning in their teaching.
- Their is no overlap between teachers’ feelings of burnout and their ability to think or act metacognitively (in Karnataka).
