Properly equipping our teachers for the future: re-reading research in practice as an everyday habit of professional practice (original) (raw)

This paper advocates for a formalization of Research in Practice (RiP) as a critical component of initial and ongoing professional education for teachers. It emphasizes the need for teacher educators to foster RiP as a fundamental habit within teacher training programs, particularly in the context of the evolving policies governing post-compulsory education. The authors argue that RiP serves as a crucial mechanism for teachers to reflect on and interrogate their practice, professional identity, and the broader social contexts of education, thereby contributing to critical pedagogy and enhancing the professional formation of educators.
