Until recently, existing research on teacher professional development (PD) has largely relied on teacher perceptions and self-reports to evaluate effectiveness. Though more current research has used a diverse array of designs and methodologies to examine impact on teacher knowledge, practice, and student learning, uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of various PD models remains, particularly for these nonperceptive variables. There has been a call in the field to apply a consistent conceptual framework in order to identify critical mechanisms underlying effective models and to support improved theorizing about teaching and learning. Thus, we present an integrated literature synthesis of one collaborative model of PD, teacher study groups (TSGs), in an effort to make sense of the relatively rich body of research that has been performed on this model. We identified 32 studies that examined TSGs’ impact on teacher and student outcomes and synthesized this research using Desimone’s five-factor conceptual framework, which is being increasingly applied across the field. Findings suggest that TSGs are an effective PD model and that there are components of the model not accounted for in the five-factor framework that affect teacher outcomes and student learning. We conclude with a discussion of implications, including limitations of the five-factor framework and ideas for further refinement that situate PD in a vast empirical landscape.

教师学习小组：综合文献综合

直到最近，关于教师专业发展 (PD) 的现有研究在很大程度上依赖于教师的看法和自我报告来评估有效性。尽管更多当前的研究使用了多种设计和方法来检查对教师知识、实践和学生学习的影响，但关于各种 PD 模型有效性的不确定性仍然存在，尤其是对于这些非感知变量。该领域一直呼吁应用一致的概念框架，以确定有效模型背后的关键机制，并支持改进教学和学习理论。因此，我们提出了一种 PD 协作模型、教师研究小组 (TSG)、努力理解对该模型进行的相对丰富的研究。我们确定了 32 项研究 TSG 对教师和学生成果的影响，并使用 Desimone 的五因素概念框架综合了这项研究，该框架正越来越多地应用于整个领域。研究结果表明，TSG 是一种有效的 PD 模型，并且该模型的某些组成部分未在影响教师成果和学生学习的五因素框架中考虑在内。我们以对影响的讨论结束，包括五因素框架的局限性以及将 PD 置于广阔的经验环境中的进一步细化的想法。我们确定了 32 项研究 TSG 对教师和学生成果的影响，并使用 Desimone 的五因素概念框架综合了这项研究，该框架正越来越多地应用于整个领域。研究结果表明，TSG 是一种有效的 PD 模型，并且该模型的某些组成部分未在影响教师成果和学生学习的五因素框架中考虑在内。我们以对影响的讨论结束，包括五因素框架的局限性以及将 PD 置于广阔的经验环境中的进一步细化的想法。我们确定了 32 项研究 TSG 对教师和学生成果的影响，并使用 Desimone 的五因素概念框架综合了这项研究，该框架正越来越多地应用于整个领域。研究结果表明，TSG 是一种有效的 PD 模型，并且该模型的某些组成部分未在影响教师成果和学生学习的五因素框架中考虑在内。我们以对影响的讨论结束，包括五因素框架的局限性以及将 PD 置于广阔的经验环境中的进一步细化的想法。
