Project Details
Description
Research on collaboration in teacher education (ROCIT) expands knowledge of professional practice
among teacher trainers in transverse environments. The research graduate school explores intersections
between practices, enabling existing knowledge, abilities and approaches to be reinterpreted, modified and
reconstructed in relation to the context in which the knowledge is used. Equal value is placed on scholarship and
proven experience, which while different in character, are nonetheless complementary. This enhances teacher
training in active collaboration between universities and schools. The initiative contributes to innovation and
development of the teacher education programs enriching the capacity of key stakeholders. This is vital at a time
when teacher shortages are acute and simultaneously demands for a scholarly foundation have increased.
Today´s challenges require that traditional disciplines in the educational sciences be coupled with perspectives
from other fields such as teacher training, the teaching profession and school development. C urrent Teacher
Education in Sweden must develop a research collaboration between Teacher Education, teacher educators,
schools and teachers to address these challenges.
Teacher trainers resulting from the initiative will support both new and more experienced teachers in their
professional practice, problematizing and evaluating professional learning and enhancing the cooperation
between academia and school practice.
