Testing with student teachers

Student teachers in Sweden are expected to have strong digital skills and to be able to choose / evaluate both print and digital teaching materials. As a result, Swedish Edtest has produced a specific handbook for teacher training institutions interested in using our test method. The handbook is based on our experience of running tests with 80 preschool student teachers, several preschools and two EdTech companies in the autumn of 2020. 


This is the first time that teacher training institutions in Sweden have involved its students in testing digital teaching resources. This has helped us reach one of the key goals for the Swedish Edtest project, which is to strengthen student teachers’ digital skills and to ensure that they are able to specify the digital learning resources they want and need.
