Towards a new language of scholarship in teacher educators’ professional learning?

“…Some previous studies of more experienced teacher educators (see, for example, Reynolds, 1995;Ducharme & Ducharme, 1996;Murray, 2002) suggest that either the schools (or departments) of education within universities or colleges (as the immediate settings for work) may be powerful determinants in career development, particularly in relation to developing identities as scholars and researchers. This same body of research also indicates that the amount of time spent in higher education might be a further determinant in the development of researcher identities.…”
