Research and Practice in History Teacher Education

Learning How to Conduct Educational Research in Teacher Education : a Turkish Perspective

“…Another valuable research study, entitled "Research and Practice in History Teacher Education", was conducted by Pendry and Husbands (2000). In the light of this study it appears that, although student teachers have positive attitudes towards using research findings for their professional development, their familiarity with the data relevant to their field is limited (Pendry and Husbands, 2000). In another study, Hatch, Greer and Bailey described how pre-service teachers accomplished and wrote up Action Research projects.…”

“…Another study was carried out by Counsell, Evans, McIntyre and Raffan (2000) in order to develop student teachers' educational research skills, and they stated that subjectrelated educational research can play an important role in trainee teachers' learning.

An Action Research on Developing Prospective Teachers’ Inquiry Skills

“…A review of literature on inquiry-based instruction displayed a number of empirical research findings on the importance of systematic inquiry (Schulz & Mandzuk, 2005;Van der Linden, Bakx, Ros, Beijaard & Vermeulen, 2012), providing sufficient inquiry-based learning experiences (Newman et al, 2004), the contribution to professional development (Schulz and Mandzuk, 2005;Pendry and Husbands, 2000), gaining research knowledge and skills (Schulz & Mandzuk, 2005;Sozbilir, 2007;Van der Linden et al, 2012), student teachers' developing understandings of scientific inquiry process (Haefner, 2004;Richardson and Liang, 2008), student teachers' getting motivated to do research (Sozbilir, 2007), involving student teachers in active and student-centred learning (Spronken-Smith, Bullard, Ray, Roberts, & Keiffer, 2008), the necessity of developing more collaborative research projects (Gitlin, Barlow, Burbank, Kauchak, & Stevens, 1999).…”

“…The review of literature also showed that a number of studies were conducted on the student teachers studying in the pre-service (Gitlin et al, 1999;Haefner, 2004;Joram, 2007;Newman et al, 2004;Richardson & Liang, 2008;Van der Linden et al, 2012) and elementary (Volkmann, Abell & Zgagacz, 2005) and secondary science teacher education programs (Crawford, Zembal-Saul, Munford, & Friedrichsen, 2005) and with the student teachers studying history (Pendry and Husbands, 2000), geography (Spronken-Smith et al, 2008), chemistry and biology (Sozbilir, 2007), and science (Demir & Abell, 2010).…”

Governance decentralisation in education: Finnish innovation in education

“…An emphasis on research is an essential characteristic of the programmes that educate primary and secondary school teachers in Finland is (Jakku-Sihvonen & Niemi, 2006). Student teachers learn how to consume and produce educational knowledge within their pedagogical studies (Gitlin, Barlow, Burbank, Kauchak, & Stevens, 1999;Pendry & Husbands, 2000;Reis-Jorge, 2005). Student teachers consume educational researchbased knowledge when they combine theory and experience or interpret situations during their teaching practice.…”
