ABSTRACT

This paper reports on the background, context, design, and findings of a collaborative research project designed to develop a future roadmap for strengthening an Australian research-rich and self-improving education system. Building on the BERA-RSA Inquiry into the role of research in the teaching profession in the UK (Furlong, 2013 Furlong, J. (2013). Globalisation, neoliberalism, and the reform of teacher education in England. The Educational Forum, 77(1), 28–50. Taylor & Francis Group.[Taylor & Francis Online] , [Google Scholar]), the Australian Teacher Education Association (ATEA), Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE) and Australian Council of Deans of Education (ACDE) initiated a national study across education systems and jurisdictions to identify ideas, issues, challenges and opportunities to strengthen teacher education and education policy development through research. The mixed-method study, inclusive of focus groups and an on-line survey collected data from pre-service teachers, teachers, academics and leaders across schools, universities and education departments. A set of recommendations highlight the need for research literacies to be embedded at all stages of a teachers’ career and that the profession would benefit from professional learning strategies where teachers are positioned as both critical and discerning consumers and active producers of research. The importance of teachers being able to respond to data within their own set of contextual factors was a key message.

摘要

本文报告了合作研究项目的背景、背景、设计和发现，该项目旨在制定未来路线图，以加强澳大利亚研究丰富且自我完善的教育体系。基于 BERA-RSA 调查研究在英国教学专业中的作用（Furlong，2013 年） 弗隆，J.（2013 年）。全球化、新自由主义和英国教师教育改革。教育论坛, 77(1), 28 – 50。泰勒弗朗西斯集团。[Taylor & Francis Online]  , [Google Scholar])、澳大利亚教师教育协会 (ATEA)、澳大利亚教育研究协会 (AARE) 和澳大利亚教育院长理事会 (ACDE) 发起了一项跨教育系统和司法管辖区的全国性研究，以确定想法、问题、挑战和机遇，以加强通过研究进行教师教育和教育政策的制定。包括焦点小组和在线调查在内的混合方法研究收集了来自学校、大学和教育部门的职前教师、教师、学者和领导者的数据。一系列建议强调了将研究素养嵌入教师职业生涯各个阶段的必要性，并且该专业将从专业学习策略中受益，在这种策略中，教师既是批判性的又是有洞察力的消费者，也是研究的积极生产者。教师能够在他们自己的一组上下文因素中对数据做出反应的重要性是一个关键信息。
