Abstract

Studying teacher education in the US: an overview of the report of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) panel on research and teacher educationSalto de línea Salto de línea In 1999, the American Educational Research Association (AERA) constituted a Panel on Research and Teacher Education. 17 members were appointed to the panel and were given the following charge: to create for the larger educational community a critical but even-handed analysis of the empirical evidence related to practices and policies in preservice teacher education in the United States, and to recommend research directions that are most promising for what the educational community needs to know in order to prepare strong teachers for this nation’s children. The panel’s work resulted in the 2005 publication entitled Studying Teacher Education:A Report of the AERA Panel on Research and Teacher Education. This volume includes an executive summary, three overarching chapters, and nine research syntheses. Additionally, this volume recommends a research agenda and topics for teacher education, addresses research designs and methodological issues, and discusses a needed infrastructure for research on teacher education.This article provides an overview of the larger published volume and this panel’s work.
