Session Submission Summary

Collaboration on Research on Practicum Learning as Self-Study of Teacher Education Practices

Mon, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 102 B

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The purpose of this session is to use collaborative self-study methodology to understand the ways that our research meetings and data have helped us to name and reframe features of our pedagogies of teacher education. We will offer six self-studies that explore ways in which researching the practicum using more traditional case study research methodology has had an impact on her or his own practice as a teacher educator. In so doing, we adopt an ontological stance (Pinnegar & Hamilton, 2009) that emphasizes the reflexive nature of doing research on teacher education and being a teacher educator. Our symposium responds directly to repeated calls to connect and situate results from self-study research to the broader teacher education literature.
