There remains dispute about limited evidence justifying ongoing reforms, particularly in relation to gaps in understanding how providers and schools work collaboratively in the joint activity ofITE. This paper argues for the potential ofChange Laboratory (CL) methodology in contemporary educational research.  \nThe research examined the implementation ofCL methodology in an Australian ITE program. Participants included 13 school-based and university-based educators. Participants were required to co-design a unit of work for an ITE course. Drawing on Cultural Historical Activity Theory (Engeström, 2001), this research investigated how a university and school worked across organisational boundaries.  \nFindings identify an alignment of theory and practice, where the CL methodology enables participants to work in new ways supporting a collaborative approach in the preparation of teachers for the  \nworkforce.  \nKey terms: Initial Teacher Education, Change Laboratory methodology, Co-design  \nBackground  \nInitial Teacher Education (ITE) programs within Australia are experiencing increased pressure to systematically strengthen the quality of teaching in schools to improve the outcomes of students (Diamond et al, 2017) . The enduring nature of this focus is evidenced by continual review into Australian ITE. Yet so often in governmental reviews and media critiques (QITER, Department of Education, Skills, and Employment, 2022), the activity of ITE provision has been assumed to be predominately the responsibility of the university (Aspland, 2016; Louden, 2008; O’Donoghue & Moore, 2019), with limited attention being given to the provision of quality ITE as a co-production activity involving university and schools. The enactment of ITE curriculum reform into educational practice, is scarce amongst scholars and research; yet researchers have maintained that teacher educators play a critical role of curriculum developers (Luneberg, Denerink & Korthagen, 2014; Smith, 2005) . Research on ITE curriculum collaboration highlights very little alignment of theoretical perspectives or process of organisational change needed to support it. Conversely, it would be more productive for ITE to be conceptualised as a co-production activity of ITE providers and schools where this boundary-crossing activity could be made more visible to both parties involved.  \nPartnerships between schools and universities have been consistently identified as a strategy for preparing and supporting better teachers (Burn et al, 2021; Coler et al. 2022, QITER, Department of Education, Skills, and Employment, 2022) . Reports and research  \nliterature continue to argue that we need to strengthen partnerships between schools and universities to better improve teacher preparation and student learning outcomes.  \nThe focus in this research was the beginning phases of co-design and co-development of an ITE literacy and numeracy unit of work in a Masters ITE course. By understanding how academics, teachers and school leaders work across their organisational boundaries this study can begin to reconceptualise and understand the alignment of the school and university systems, which has conventionally remained in (and mediated through) the domain of the university activity system. The intention of this paper is not to focus on the outcome of the co-designed activity, the curriculum, rather to position CL methodology as a critical methodology for interventionist research in education.  \nThus, the research questions include:  \n1. How participants and the researcher in the school and university activity systems collaborate to co-design and construct ITE curriculum design.  \n2. How can the application of CHAT to ITE course","cbCaisNUAsUnzVjJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisNUAsUnzVjJ","pdf",414399,18,"English","# Abstract\n# Background\n# Research focus and questions\n# Initial Teacher Education: The Australian Context","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the paper address in Initial Teacher Education reforms?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses disputes about limited evidence supporting ongoing reforms, especially regarding how providers and schools collaborate in ITE joint activity.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the Change Laboratory methodology implemented in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The research examined CL methodology within an Australian ITE program where 13 educators co-designed a unit of work across organisational boundaries.\"},{\"question\":\"What theory guided the analysis of school-university collaboration?\",\"answer\":\"The study drew on Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT), including third-generation CHAT, to examine interacting activity systems across the university and school.\"}]","Using Change Laboratory Methodology in Initial Teacher Education | PDF",1792078648,45]
