Understanding the role and potential for research capacity-building in initial teacher education (ITE) programmes North-South Ireland: a baseline and comparative study

Abstract

The aims of this study of research capacity building in initial teacher education programmes in Northern Ireland (NI) and the Republic of Ireland (RoI) were two-fold: (i) to provide an analysis of the experience, perspectives and resources of teacher educators with regard to the factors that support and/or inhibit research capacity-building in the initial phase of teacher education programmes in order to determine future directions; (ii) to create a comprehensive baseline understanding of how research awareness, understanding and skills are incorporated and developed during the initial stages of teacher education.Other funderSCoTENSAuthor has checked copyrightkpw19/11/1
