Abstract:
This paper describes the current stage of development of a Ph.D. research project concerned with identifying conditions conducive to effective teacher learning. The paper begins by providing a summary of some of the background issues to the study and then proceeds to argue the importance of conducting research into Teachers as Learners. It then describes the nature of the study including the major procedures used and concludes by identifying the five conditions that the data analysis has so far indicated are necessary for effective teacher learning.
