There are increasing demands for teachers to continue to improve the quality of education. This focus is evident in the Early Childhood Education and Care sector in Australia where the professionalisation agenda is tied to teacher professional learning. While the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (AITSL) has strengthened expectations…

School leaders increasingly view inquiry-based professional learning as a means to address diverse aspirations concerning teacher development, school improvement, and regulatory requirements. This qualitative, case study uses interview data to investigate the experiences of school leaders during a one-year cycle of "Practitioner Inquiry:…

Academic careers are complex, diverse, and increasingly competitive. Building on previous research on selection criteria for admission to early research careers, this research expands the analytical focus to examine attributes requested in job ads at each stage of an academic career. Our data, extracted from a European job platform, draws on over…

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether teachers' engagement in research fosters teachers' professional development and school development. We investigated changes in teachers' professional behavior, the impact of such changes, and factors that affect such changes. Questionnaires were distributed among more than hundred teachers who…

In this paper, we present an argument for Practitioner Inquiry (PI). We briefly introduce PI, and we indicate how PI recasts the professional and political role of the Early Years Practitioner (practitioner). At the core of this article is the work of the early childhood pioneer, Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852). Froebel provided principles to…

We describe a longitudinal (5-year) researcher-supported initiative designed to strengthen the research-practice link (RPL) and serve as an effective form of situated professional learning and development (PLD) in adult second language programs. We facilitated the formation of and supported 9 professional reading groups of 6-12 instructors (N =…

This research is proposed 1) to investigate status state, problems, and needs in doing classroom action research of teachers, 2) to guideline the development of classroom action research of teachers, and 3) to monitor and evaluation the guideline of classroom action research development of teachers.

Prior research suggests that critical participatory action research (CPAR) -- a research approach that centers democratic participation, agency, and collective capacity-building -- may be one way to improve teachers' professional development and increase their feelings of agency and well-being. Engaging in CPAR has the potential to foster…

We present teacher-researcher partnership (TRP) as a way of fostering teachers' professional learning. Teachers' participation as research group members is an essential aspect of the partnership. Teachers and researchers share the same goal, which is to improve their understanding of and enhance students' engagement in science. Project-based…

This study explored 8 high school science teachers' experiences in an 8-week immersive research laboratory professional development program.

Mentor scientists and their lab members hosted teachers for the duration…

In this commentary, the authors aim to connect the provocative topic of this special issue--"'The Village and the World': Research with, for, and by Teachers in an Age of Data" to several key ideas about practitioner inquiry that they have developed and explored over the years. They begin by highlighting three dimensions of their concept…

This study aimed to investigate teachers' learning through researcher--teacher partnerships (RTPs). The theoretical framework, developed by Bannister, was applied to examine teacher learning in RTPs. Specifically, a case study of an RTP was conducted, in which university researchers collaborated closely with mathematics teachers. The…
