This invited round table discussion between network 2 (VetNet), 13 (Philosophy of Ed.) and 10 (Research on Teacher Ed.) will discuss what contested qualities in research on teacher education we find relevant today. The diversity of ways in which teacher education is handled in the European countries opens a discussion on how we may best describe and analyze what are its contested qualities if we look at it within a European framework. On the other hand this diversity poses serious difficulties in validating what qualities could be promoted through the reseach on teacher education. The contested qualities which this roundtable discussion will explore and discuss are the possible opposition and tension between some areas which we may recognize across european teacher education research. The discussion will concentrate around the contested qualities ofo Knowledge based vs vocational based teacher education o Theoretical vs practical knowledge in the understanding of teacher education.o Researched based teacher ed. vs practice based teacher ed. The four contributors of this roundtable discussion will draw from their own research and their own position as educational researchers. Based on this each will contribute a short presentation which discusses and problematizes the question and theme posed for this Roundtable.This Roundtable discussion will open the sessions within network 10. The idea is that the discussions and problematizations initiated here will permeate the following sessions within the network and serve as a frame for further exploration and discussion linking it to other topics in teacher education reseach.A possible followup of this initiative is collecting contributions from this discussion and relevant papers for a possible special issue of the EERJ.
