Crystal Green, PhD, University of Jyväskylä: Collaboration and Professional Identity in Teacher Education: A comparative study of Finland and Japan. See below for more details:
“This study seeks to contribute to discussions on the challenges and successes of developing teacher education by comparing Finnish and Japanese teacher educators’ collaboration within their professional learning communities. The research aims to consider individual subject identities, leadership within the learning community, and collaboration within and outside of the university. Japan and Finland have been chosen for comparison because of their unique similarities and differences, and my experience living in both countries.”
