Abstract

Informing teacher education programs and impacting teaching practices has long been a stated goal of learning sciences research. As a first step in understanding the reality of this impact, we conducted a survey of individuals who identify as learning scientists from 39 different higher education institutions distributed internationally. Survey questions asked these learning scientists to describe both current engagement with teacher education programs at their institution and aspirations for future engagement. Results indicate that learning scientists see their current overall impact on teacher education as low-to-moderate, but they also perceive a high potential for stronger impact in the future. Barriers to successful engagement and specific ideas for how to build bridges with teacher education programs are detailed.
