ABSTRACT

The concept of Teaching-Research Nexus (TRN) is one of the main characteristics of the academic orientation. The current study attempts to examine how this perception is implemented in Israeli Academic Colleges of Education (ACEs) and how it is expressed in the work of senior teacher educators who have previously served as teachers in schools. An analysis of nine semi-structured interviews pointed to teacher students’ and teacher educators’ agency as being prominent patterns in the TRN implementation, and which are expressed in three ways: (a) agency of research insights to the educational field; (b) agency of reflective practitioning (an ability of the individual to create a relationship between his or her social and emotional world in the professional context); and (c) agency of cross-cultural research. The discussion delineates the similarities and differences between the perception of TRN among teacher educators in ACEs and academics in other institutions of higher education.

摘要

教学-研究联系（TRN）的概念是学术导向的主要特征之一。当前的研究试图检验这种看法是如何在以色列教育学院 (ACE) 中实施的，以及它如何在以前在学校担任教师的高级教师教育工作者的工作中表达出来。对九个半结构化访谈的分析指出，师生和教师教育者的代理是 TRN 实施中的突出模式，并以三种方式表达：(a) 对教育领域的研究见解的代理；(b) 反思性实践的能动性（个人在职业背景下在其社会和情感世界之间建立关系的能力）；(c) 跨文化研究机构。
