Preservice mathematics teachers and teacher research

Teacher research is intentional and systematic inquiry carried out by teachers. Mainly, it is recognized as an effective way of improving everyday classroom practice, but it can also be a starting point for a systematic investigation of a wider problem. Furthermore, recent changes in the Croatian Education System recognize the importance of the role of a teacher as an active participant in the changing of the educational process. The School for Life program needs teachers willing to conduct teacher research and to take initiative and responsibility in the shaping of the "school for life". Which problems can be expected during that process? Are preservice mathematics teachers prepared for that challenge? Which changes in their education are needed? These questions will be discussed based on the findings collected from the students of the graduate teacher training courses at the Department of Mathematics, University of Rijeka.
