Description This exploratory study focuses on the experience of beginning university teachers (both students and faculty members) with their preparation for teaching. Data were collected by online questionnaires in June 2009 in several European countries both from the point of view of beginning teachers (in particular) and department heads, all under the auspices of EUROPLAT - European Network for Psychology Learning & Teaching. Most of the respondents were PhD students. Teaching is usually not compulsory for them, but it is very common that they do at least some teaching. Results show that majority of beginning teachers in our sample do not receive enough training or support for carrying out their teaching responsibilities.
