  4. A new framework for teachers' professional development

    Abstract. Teachers' professional development (PD) is crucial to improving student outcomes. Because PD involves a multidimensional structure and changes across a teacher's professional life, defining PD is complicated, and existing studies fail to meaningfully define it. To offer a working framework for optimal PD, we reviewed existing ...

  5. Using Design-Based Research to Develop a Professional Development Model

    Design-based research methods (DBR) have emerged as a research paradigm for building theories in the service of solving issues of practice in education (c.f., Design-Based Research Collaborative (DBRC), 2003).DBR is characterized by multiple iterations of research that all serve to simultaneously address the development of a theory and the development of an innovation in which that theory is ...
