Abstract
ABSTRACT With a focus on the US, I briefly review the literature to examine current trends, and outline a typology of what is meant by educational research for teaching by, with and for teachers, followed by a discussion of why it is important for educators to engage in and commit to such research. The key question in this article is what kinds of research are helpful for program improvement and for high-quality teaching and learning? A follow-up question is where should teachers learn to do such research and what would it mean to be a proficient teacher-researcher? These questions lead to an exploration of the role of teacher educators in helping teachers learn diverse epistemologies, theoretical perspectives, and methodologies to engage in researching the complexity involved in enriching and improving teacher education, teaching and learning.
期刊介绍：
Teaching Education is an interdisciplinary forum for innovative practices and research in teacher education. Submission of manuscripts from educational researchers, teacher educators and practicing teachers is encouraged. Contributions are invited which address social and cultural, practical and theoretical aspects of teacher education in university-, college-, and school-based contexts. The journal’s focus is on the challenges and possibilities of rapid social and cultural change for teacher education and, more broadly, for the transformation of education. These challenges include: the impact of new cultures and globalisation on curriculum and pedagogy; new collaborations and partnerships between universities, schools and other social service agencies; the consequences of new community and family configurations for teachers’ work; generational and cultural change in schools and teacher education institutions; new technologies and education; and the impact of higher education policy and funding on teacher education. Manuscripts addressing critical and theory-based research or scholarly reflections and debate on contemporary issues related to teacher education, will be considered. Papers should attempt to present research, innovative theoretical and/or practical insights in relevant current literature and debate.
