Abstract
A significant contribution that teacher education can make is to prepare preservice teachers to integrate. This action research addressed four questions: Will integrating Classroom Management and Wednesday Field Experience increase teacher knowledge and their ability to connect theory with practice? Will preservice teachers develop strong “teacher voices” and explain why they will or will not use certain strategies, activities and/or ideas in their own classrooms? Will preservice teachers begin to understand the importance of Action Research and how it can be used to improve their own teaching? Will the Action Research Form, that was developed help these preservice teachers become more knowledgeable about themselves and the teaching profession, work? This was a qualitative action research study. Twenty-seven preservice teachers wrote weekly reflections on topics they observed while in their assigned elementary classrooms. The results demonstrate the applicability of this approach.
