Pre-service teachers as researchers of educational practices: Effects on students’ narration of their learner autobiography

Abstract

The pilot study was part of a project funded by the European Educational Research Association. The focus of the study was to explore possible effects on the pre-service teachers involved as student researchers in the project. In particular, the study investigated changes to the participants' narrated learner autobiographies at before, during, and at the end of the study. Participants supplied asynchronous audio narrations before, mid-way, and after the data collection of the project and contributed ideas to an asynchronously offered padlet board. The most salient change was a change of the participants’ self-perception as learners.
