“…Between 1930 and 1945, there were several major studies intended to codify and unify teacher preparation (e.g., Charters and Waples, 1929;Evenden, 1933). Although handbooks that synthesized research on teaching and teacher preparation did not yet exist, there were several early efforts to review the research (e.g., Peik, 1940Peik, , 1943Peik, , 1946Peik and Hurd, 1937a, b). Most of these concluded that the teacher preparation curriculum was narrow in both professional and subject matter emphases, inconsistent across institutions, not reflective of professional consensus about core teacher attributes, and in need of major reorganization (Cochran- Smith and Fries, 2008;Zeichner, 1999).…”

This article argues that research on teacher preparation over the last 100 years can be understood in terms of the major questions that researchers examined. The analysis is guided by the framework of "research as historically situated social practice," which emphasizes that researchers' interests, commitments, and social experiences guide the research questions they pursue and the theories and perspectives they adopt. Past research on initial teacher education is described in terms of the emergence of three broad questions: "the curriculum question," "the effectiveness question," and "the knowledge question." Present research focuses on two broad animating questions: "the policy question" and "the learning question." We recommend that future research address questions that link teacher learning with student learning and teacher candidates' beliefs and practices as well as questions that examine the relationships between research practices and social, economic and institutional power.
