The Research Base for Teacher Education: Metaphors We Live (and Die) By.
Cochran-Smith, Marilyn
Journal of Teacher Education, v53 n4 p283-85 Sep-Oct 2002
Discusses the current controversy in teacher education about whether or not there is a research base that justifies particular practices related to the preparation, certification, recruitment, retention, and entry routes of teachers, focusing on guiding metaphors for research underlying these discussions, which include: research as weapon, research as report card, research as warranty, research as foundation, and research as stance.
