This study investigates educational research and development productivity in teacher education among colleges and universities in the United States. For the purpose of this inquiry, productivity was based on contributions to the annual meetings of the Association of Teacher Educators, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, and the American Educational Research Association on Teacher Education and leading journals in teacher education over a 5-year period: 1980-1984. Data were analyzed in terms of total productivity yielding a list of 50 institutions which have been active in knowledge production and utilization in teacher education. (Author/JD)
