Abstract

ABSTRACT The role of research in teacher education is a widely discussed topic by policymakers as well as by researchers and practitioners. At the policy level, there seems to be a general claim that teacher education shall be research based (OECD, 2005; European Commission, 2013; Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture, 2021; Norwegian Ministry of Knowledge, 2020). The claims are strong, however, the interpretation and the operationalisation of the role of research in teacher education is, to say it mildly, vague. In this paper, I will briefly present voices of some international researchers with the purpose of illuminating the complex roles research plays in teacher education. A major part of this paper will present an example of how Norway has attempted to operationalise the complexity of balancing between teacher educators’ researcherly and pedagogical dispositions by funding the National Research School in Teacher Education (NAFOL). The overall goal of the research school is to develop “researching teacher educators” with equal value of all the three words.

平衡教师教育者的研究倾向和教学倾向——以挪威为例

研究在教师教育中的作用是决策者、研究人员和从业者广泛讨论的话题。在政策层面，似乎普遍主张教师教育应以研究为基础（经合组织，2005年；欧盟委员会，2013年；芬兰教育和文化部，2021年；挪威知识部，2020年）。这些说法很有力，然而，委婉地说，对研究在教师教育中的作用的解释和操作是模糊的。在本文中，我将简要介绍一些国际研究人员的声音，目的是阐明研究在教师教育中所扮演的复杂角色。本文的主要部分将举一个例子，说明挪威如何试图通过资助国家教师教育研究院（NAFOL）来实现教师教育工作者研究和教学倾向之间的复杂平衡。研究型学校的总体目标是培养具有同等价值的“研究型教师教育者”。
