"New research on education is constantly conducted to better understand learning and to improve teaching. How do you think teachers can use this research? How might teachers in classroom and researchers collaborate? Do you think teachers can also be researchers? If so, how? If not, why not?"
New research on education is constantly being conducted to better understand learning and improve teaching every day. Teachers can take this new information and apply it to their classrooms, students, and curriculum in order to help them and make learning as beneficial to children as possible. I believe the main way teachers and researchers could collaborate would be for the teachers to act as guinea pigs and have the researchers observe the teaching. this would be the most effective way because the researchers would be able to record first-hand what worked and what didn't. Another way teachers and researchers could work together would be for the teachers to relay to the researchers what methods worked and which ones weren't as helpful. Personally I believe teachers would make the best researchers, because they have a group of test subjects each and every day. if something isn't going as planning or something unexpected happens, a teacher could experiment with different solutions and find the formula that works best with the specific problem.
