Practices and Partnerships: Examining teacher learning and professional development in initial teacher education programmes

我的研究是关于英国的初始教师教育。在我的博士学位，我认为学习环境的选择如何影响实习教师的学习和发展。坐在社会文化领域，研究的理论框架的民族志的理解是“既是一个过程和产品”（布里茨曼1995年：229）。在三个不同的培训地点为期一年的密集沉浸照亮了不同提供者的文化，展示了教师学习的结构和发展以及教师准备的有效性和可持续性方面的路线之间的差异。这项研究产生了丰富的原始数据，集中洞察了在英国日益市场化的教师培训环境中学习教学的样子和感觉。随后的概念理论化导致了一个框架的形成，解决冲突，过渡和机构。在过去的三十年里，英格兰的教师教育发生了显著的变化（Murray & Mutton，2015; Cochran-Smith，2015），对初始教师培训的改革导致英格兰与英国其他地区不同的支离破碎的景观。本项目提案所处的位置是在提供初始师范教育这一日益复杂的领域内，需要确保建立机制，为受训者和从事该行业新人工作的师范教育工作者提供有重点的支助。它包括ESRC交付计划（2019）中确定的下一代公共服务发展的关键研究方向，重点是初始教师教育和正在进行的专业教育，并进一步研究不同路线对教学的影响。在申请这项奖学金时，我的目的是确保我的博士研究的发现和影响与一系列观众分享，无论是在学术界还是在学术界之外。对一个重要的国际师资教育机构进行研究访问将促进讨论和潜在的合作。同行评议的文章，探讨我的研究结果和方法的生产将补充一本书的建议书的写作，解决教师教育中的身份的概念。此外，撰写一篇有关教师持续专业发展历史的期刊文章，将扩阔我的研究范围，并建立在我现有的出版记录上。与学员、教师教育工作者、学校领导和学校导师的接触将进一步发展我的研究，确保研究结果产生实际和可衡量的影响。在培训环境和学校中使用的资源的生产和试用将扩大我的研究的影响，并使我自己的职业生涯之间的直接联系作为一名教师和高级领导者和我的发展作为一个研究人员。在整个奖学金期间，我打算利用机会参与网络，参加相关会议和会议，并向不同的受众展示我的研究。我还打算通过接受相关培训，进一步发展自己的研究技能。

My research is concerned with initial teacher education in England. In my PhD, I considered how the choice of learning environment impacts on the learning and development of trainee teachers. Sitting within the socio-cultural domain, the research was theoretically framed by an understanding of ethnography as 'both a process and a product' (Britzman 1995:229). The intensive yearlong immersion in three different training sites illuminated the cultures of the differing providers, demonstrating differences between routes both in terms of the structure and development of teacher learning and the effectiveness and sustainability of teacher preparation. The research resulting in the generation of rich, original data giving focused insight into what it looks and feels like to learn to teach in the increasingly marketized environment of teacher training in England. The subsequent conceptual theorising led to the formation of a framework addressing conflict, transition and agency. This conceptual framework has the capacity for analysis that transcends the specifics of individual programmes, both in the UK and internationally.Teacher education in England has seen significant changes over the past three decades (Murray & Mutton, 2015; Cochran-Smith, 2015), with reforms to initial teacher training resulting in a fragmented landscape in England that differs from the rest of the United Kingdom. Situated within this increasingly complex landscape of initial teacher education provision, this project proposal addresses the need to ensure that there are mechanisms for focused support for trainees and for teacher educators working with newcomers to the profession. It embraces crucial research strands for the development of next-generation public services identified in the ESRC Delivery Plan (2019), with a focus on initial teacher education and ongoing professional education combined with further research into the impact of different routes into teaching.In applying for this Fellowship, my aim is to ensure that the findings and ramifications of my doctoral research are shared with a range of audiences, both within and outside academia. The undertaking of a research visit to a key international institution for teacher education will facilitate discussion and potential collaboration. The production of peer-reviewed articles exploring the findings and the methodology of my research will be supplemented by the writing of a book proposal addressing the concept of identity in teacher education. In addition, the writing of a journal article around the history of CPD for teachers will broaden the scope of my research and build on my existing publication track record.Engagement with trainees, teacher educators, school leaders and school mentors will further develop my research, ensuring that there is a practical and measurable impact from the research findings. The production and trialling of resources for use in the training environment and in schools will broaden the impact of my research and make a direct link between my own career as a teacher and senior leader and my development as a researcher. Throughout the Fellowship, I intend to exploit opportunities to engage in networking, attending relevant conferences and meetings and presenting my research to different audiences. It is also my intention to further develop my own research skills through the undertaking of relevant training.
