Learner Profile Attributes in IB Teaching: Insights from a Continuum School in Turkey
Keser, Özlem; Altan, Servet; Lane, Jennie F.
Journal of Research in International Education, v21 n3 p256-272 Dec 2022
This article presents findings from a case study of a K-12 school in Turkey where teachers shared perceptions of how the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile attributes related to their own practice. While discussing the interdependency of the attributes, teachers considered that being an "inquirer" is the most valuable attribute for effective International Baccalaureate teachers. Participants at all grade levels believed that being "open-minded" and "reflective" were important attributes. Despite the importance of "inquiry," participants shared that they feel most capable of implementing the attribute of being "knowledgeable." The conceptual framework developed for this study may be used by schools and teacher educators to develop attributes of teachers who can help students become global citizens with intercultural understandings.
