מחקר פעולה ככלי בהכשרת מורים: מבט משווה על מחקרי פעולה בארבע מכללות להוראה

The article compares four action research studies, conducted in four teacher education colleges, which focused on student-teachers ׳ experiences while teaching the Bible in schools. The student-teachers taught independently, with full responsibility for the whole teaching process, and conducted action research studies on their teaching, maintaining full research procedures, and preserving documented, transparent, and analytical processes. We identified considerable differences between the students ׳ studies, indicating a range of options for using action research in teacher education. The article emphasizes that action research can be a training tool that allows student-teachers to express their authentic voices and their knowledge in teaching, not only knowledge about teaching, while helping them to improve their teaching methods and abilities.
