A proposal for teacher education based on study and research paths: preliminary investigations and open issues
Marianna Bosch, IQS School of Management, Univ. Ramon Llull (Barcelona)

Our current research project addresses the study of the conditions for inquiry-based activities organised as ‘study and research paths’ (SRP) to be implemented as normalised teaching and learning processes in current school institutions. This talk will approach a related problem focused on the use of SRP in teacher education programmes. We will see how SRP appear as a powerful device to locate teachers’ professional problems at the core of their educational processes and also to introduce epistemological and didactic analytic tools in a functional way, as instruments to provide answers to the questions raised. At the same time we postulate that SRP help teachers detach from the dominant didactic and pedagogical contracts, a necessary condition to identify the constraints that hinder the implementation of new didactic organisations and to start working to overcome them.
