“…PSTs are yet to develop a teacher identity, by negotiating their current and past selves with the help of "discursive spaces" where they could become critical of their own beliefs, attitudes and assumptions related to teaching and learning (Delamarter, 2019;Mezirow, 1997). It is at this point we believe that AR could open that discursive space needed for "the dialogue between past and future selves" (Delamarter, 2019, p. 175), if integrated appropriately into the programs and co-conducted with teacher educators, mentor teachers and PSTs in a reflective and nonhierarchical manner.…”

This systematic literature review aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities thataction research (AR) provides for initial teacher education and the challenges that teacher educators andpre-service teachers (PSTs) may experience during the AR process. We analyzed 20 empirical studies onAR conducted in initial teacher education programs, adopting a hybrid approach to thematic analysis. Thefindings indicate that AR is a promising practice that helps PSTs to reflect critically, (re)construct theirteacher identity, see students as partners, value collaboration, and (re)conceptualize their understanding ofresearch. However, it is also important to consider the challenges faced during the AR process, such aspracticum restrictions, assessment demands, weak communication between partners, and time constraints.Therefore, it is essential to consider AR within initial teacher education as distinct from in-service ARpractices since the needs and concerns of PSTs might be different in this transitional period of theirlives. Implications are included for initial teacher education programs which are planning to use AR as atool for teacher learning and development
