Teacher Research and the Problem of Practice
Rust, Frances O'Connell
Teachers College Record, v111 n8 p1882-1893 2009
In this article, teacher action research is positioned as a bridge connecting research, practice, and policy--as an important and practical way to engage teachers as consumers of research, as researchers of their own practice, as designers of their own professional development, and as informants to scholars and policy-makers regarding critical issues in the field.
