学会教好是一项复杂的任务。教师教育者在使学生能够批判性地反思和分析自己的实践方面发挥着重要作用。然而，由于资金压力和其他相反因素，许多提供教师教育的机构存在与其研究基地分离的危险。威尔士教育研究网络是一个试点项目，由威尔士高等教育资助理事会和经济和社会研究理事会资助，目的是发展威尔士的教育研究能力。本文介绍了一个由WERN资助的教师教育家研究小组的分析报告。案例研究描述了该小组的研究活动及其成员对其专业实践影响的看法。最后，对调查结果的分析得出结论，从事研究导致了积极的变化，知识，技能和批判意识的教师教育家，这反过来又带来了好处，他们的学生的学习。
Learning to teach well is a complex task. Teacher-educators have a significant role to play in enabling students to reflect critically and analyse their own practice. However, there is a danger, as a result of funding pressures and other contrary factors, that many institutions that provide teacher education will become separated from their research base. The Welsh Education Research Network (WERN) is a pilot project funded by the Higher Education Funding Council in Wales and the Economic and Social Research Council with the aim of developing educational research capacity in Wales. This paper provides an analytical account of one research group of teacher-educators funded by WERN. The case study describes the research activity of the group and the views of its members on its impact for their professional practice. Finally an analysis of the findings concludes that engagement with research has resulted in positive changes to the knowledge, skills and critical awareness of the teacher-educators which has in turn brought benefits to the learning of their students.
