Abstract

In various

policy actions of the Dutch government, an assumption is made that teachers who

had carried out a master thesis are able to generate knowledge and stimulate

knowledge utilization in schools (Ministerie van OCW, 2013). Yet evidence of positive effects of teacher research, either as part of a master’s program or carried out by inservice teachers is minimal and somewhat ambiguous. The current study aims to answer the following research questions: How is teacher research evaluated with respect to the professional development as teacher?How is teacher research evaluated with respect to knowledge utilization in schools?
