Collaboration has long been one of the defining characteristics of self-study (Lighthall, 2004). The eight articles in this issue of Studying Teacher Education delve into collaborative relationships with peers, students, and the wider educational community. The authors of the first four articles convey how conversation and collaboration with peers can have a powerful impact on educators’ confidence, capacity for professional growth, and willingness to share their practices with others (Clark, 2001). The next three articles explore collaborations with graduate students and teacher candidates, and the final article extends collaboration into work with school-based partners.

协作的力量

长期以来，协作一直是自学的特征之一（Lighthall，2004）。本期《研究教师教育》中的八篇文章探讨了与同龄人，学生和更广泛的教育界的合作关系。前四篇文章的作者传达了与同龄人的对话和协作如何对教育者的信心，职业发展能力以及与他人分享实践的意愿产生强大影响（Clark，2001）。接下来的三篇文章探讨与研究生和教师候选人的合作，最后一篇文章将合作扩展到与学校合作伙伴的合作中。
