Summary
This chapter reviews the contribution of the learning sciences to teacher learning research, with particular consideration of how cognitive, sociocognitive, sociocultural, and improvement-focused perspectives extend teacher learning research. Learning scientists study all phases of teacher learning, including preservice education (before becoming a teacher), the first few years of teaching, and ongoing mastery throughout the career. Research often focuses on teaching practices – what teachers do in the classroom and how they move from novice to expert performance. Teacher learning can be supported through collaboration with other teachers in a professional learning community (PLC); through coaching and mentoring; through videos of expert teaching practice; and through educative curriculum materials.
