Authors: Geerdink Gerda, Boei Fer, Willemse Martijn, Kools Quinta, Van Vlokhoven Haske
Teacher educators, who work at institutes for higher vocational education, should now engage in research. Hence, they suppose to become familiar with research knowledge and skills. Furthermore, they have to supervise student teachers in conducting research. This study explored whether and how different professional development activities for teacher educators contribute to the tasks set. The authors found that all activities influenced the participants’ opinions about practice-based research as a concept and about the need to add research as a new task within teacher education. Furthermore, it was found that all the participants claimed to have increased their knowledge about research developed a better understanding of research skills.

Preparing Teachers for Family–School Partnerships: A Dutch and Belgian Perspective
Authors: Willemse Martijn, Vloeberghs Lijne, De Bruine Erica J., van Eynde Sofie
This study was conducted to examine whether the teacher training programmes in Belgium (Flanders) and the Netherlands prepare their students for Family–school partnerships (FSP). Findings show that in general, preparation for FSP is considered important and that this topic is integrated into different courses. Most respondents indicated that communication with parents received the most attention. However, a majority of programme managers feel that preservice teacher’s preparation in this area is not sufficient.

Preparing Teacher Candidates for Family–School Partnerships
Authors: De Bruine Erica J., Willemse Martijn, D'Haem Jeanne, Griswold Peter, Vloeberghs Lijne, van Eynde Sofie
In this explorative study, preparation of pre-service teachers for family–school partnerships (FSP) was examined within three teacher education institutions. Findings indicate that preparation for FSP is integrated in other courses. Attention is mainly focused on communication, there is no attention to models of FSP or to address underlying power relationships or barriers and there is no assessment on this topic. In primary programmes, more attention is paid to FSP then in secondary progammes. In addition, secondary respondents articulated fewer positive opinions than primary respondents.

Supporting the Professional Development of Teacher Educators in a Productive Way
Authors: Boei Fer, Dengerink Jurrien, Geursen Janneke, Kools Quinta, Koster Bob, Lunenberg Mieke, Willemse Martijn
This study focuses on the learning outcomes and professional development goals formulated by teacher educators who took part a professional development programme while putting together their registration portfolio. Findings were compared with those of a study on the first cohort in 2002, without the support of a professional development programme. The authors conclude that research shows that important aspects of the professional development of teacher educators are a clear frame of reference, attention for the important roles of teacher of teachers and teacher–researcher, inquiry-driven learning in a diverse community of teacher educators, interaction with practice, and inquiry into one’s own practice.
