22 February 2025: a round-table discussion event featuring Elyanora Menglieva, Fauzia Shamim, Richard Smith, Pia Tabali and Flávia Vieira. See summaries of the panel members’ experience in the fields of preservice teacher education and teacher-research below. You can register here.
Mentoring teacher-research is often conceived of as an activity to engage in with in-service teachers, but there are some inspiring initiatives around the world to introduce student-teachers to action research at the earliest stage in their careers. Each speaker in this panel discussion will talk about the particular context where they have introduced (exploratory) action research into pre-service teacher education, how they have done so, and the challenges they have faced as well as successes achieved. There will be time for panel participants to comment on one another’s experience, and then for comments and questions from the audience.
