Convenor
The Teaching and Teacher Education Research (TATER) SIG is concerned with questions around the art and craft of teaching in cross-sectoral context of higher education, vocational education and training, adult and community education, early childhood settings and schools (primary and secondary). As a consequence of this research focus, the TATER SIG members are also concerned with issues of teacher education in these varied contexts. Theoretically and methodologically, TATER is not constrained to specific paradigmatic views of what counts as knowledge and how that is to be determined. At this point in time, those members who are active contributing to debates, oral presentations and writing outputs in this field generally use an interpretive, constructivist orientation to their research with qualitative and/or mixed methods approaches to data collection and analysis.
TATER's mission is aligned with CQUniversity's strategic research directions in terms of learning and teaching excellence. It provides a forum for facilitating debate and fostering high quality research on the theory and practice of teaching and the implications of this for teacher education in universities, colleges, schools, industry and community settings.
TATER currently has 46 Members (Last updated March 2011)
