Description
Purpose of the Study Much has been written about the value of teacher research for inservice teachers. Hollingsworth and Sockett (1994) present teacher research as a viable source of teacher knowledge and a force within the movement toward increased professionalism of teachers. Cochran-Smith and Lytle (1999) describe five major trends in the teacher research literature: (1) the prominence of teacher research in teacher education; (2) teacher research as part of school reform; (3) the genesis of conceptual frameworks for teacher research; (4) teacher research as ways of knowing in communities; (5) teacher research as practical inquiry. Despite these affirming words, studies that richly describe how student teachers learn to do teacher research and then investigate the impact of inquiry on student teachers and teacher educators, particularly in culturally and linguistically diverse settings are rare (Fueyo & Neves, 1995; Grant and Secada, 1990; Olmedo, 1997).
