Abstract

The first study summarizes 103 PDS dissertations which provides an overview of research about learning within PDS work by addressing inquiry as pedagogical learning tool, K-12 student learning, intern/teacher candidate learning, teacher learning, and teacher educator learning. In the second study, the retention rates of teachers over a five-year period who graduated from a PDS program with residency and research components was found to be greater than a matched comparison group of teachers. In the next study, qualitative research was employed to understand the experiences of educators with embedded literacy coaching in a partnership. In the last study, research on social emotional learning was conducted in PDSs using qualitative research which resulted in four themes from participants “wonderings”.
