UiT Norges arktiske universitet har gjennomført en nasjonal pilot i grunnskolelærerutdanning på masternivå, hvor de første studentene fullførte utdanningen og leverte masteroppgave våren 2015. Denne artikkelen fokuserer på hvilken relevans studentene opplever at masteroppgaven har for den fremtidige profesjonsutøvelsen deres. Å undersøke studentenes oppfatning av masterarbeidet er av betydning, ikke bare fordi masterutdanning blir en nasjonal ordning fra 2017, men også for å utvikle kunnskap om betydningen av forsknings- og utviklingskompetanse for grunnskolelærere. Studiens empiriske materiale er en intervjuundersøkelse med 22 av de 61 første masterstudentene. Undersøkelsen inngår i en longitudinell studie som vil belyse nyutdannedes profesjonslæring i starten av karrieren, og konkret hvordan lærere integrerer kunnskapen fra utdanningen med kunnskap og erfaringer de utvikler som ferske lærere. Resultatene fra denne delstudien viser at masterarbeidet har gitt studentene dybdekunnskap og FoU-kompetanse som er av betydning for den videre profesjonsutøvelsen. Studien viser også at det er betydningsfullt at masteroppgaven har forankring i skolens praksis og bidrar til utviklingen som lærer. Av materialet fremgår det også at studentene fremhever selvstendighet og evne til samarbeid, og de er stolte av masterarbeidet sitt. Resultatene er drøftet opp mot begrepene konseptuell og kontekstuell kunnskap (Afdal & Nerland, 2012; Muller, 2009) og i lys av profesjonsteori. Masterarbeidet synes avgjørende for profesjonsidentiteten, men det vil kreves et systematisk utviklingsarbeid for å kunne gi masterarbeidet kvaliteter som kan støtte opp om studentenes utvikling som profesjonelle lærere. For lærerutdanningene tilsier dette at FoU-kompetanse må gis oppmerksomhet fra første dag i utdanningen.Nøkkelord: grunnskolelærerutdanning, masteroppgave, nyutdannet lærer, FoU-kunnskap, profesjonell identitet, profesjonsidentitet, konseptuell/kontekstuell kunnskapAbstractThe National Teacher Education Curriculum in Norway will from 2017 be taught at master’s level, extending from four to five years. In relation to this, The University of Tromsø, the Arctic University of Norway, in 2010 launched a national pilot program in teacher education: a five year long research-based master’s degree, divided into two programs adjusted to the Norwegian educational system: 1st–7th and 5th–10th grade, from which the first students graduated in the spring of 2015. This article aims to examine the importance the master’s thesis holds for teacher education student’s development of knowledge and future professional work. The analyzed data consist of interviews conducted with 22 of the 61 graduating students from the national pilot program. The study is part of a five-year longitudinal research project, illuminating professional development of newly educated teachers with a master’s degree and in what way knowledge from Initial Teacher Education sustains when encountering the profession. It is important to explore the students’ views of the thesis, not only because the five-year master’s programs will be implemented on a national level, but also because knowledge about the significance of R&D for school teachers is needed. Our analysis shows that the results of the work with the thesis are deep knowledge, R&D competence deemed relevant for teaching, autonomy and interpersonal skills: the students reported feeling proud of their own work. The results are discussed in relation to the concepts contextual and conceptual knowledge (Afdal & Nerland, 2012; Muller, 2009) as well as relating to theories of professionalism. To achieve excellence in a R&D-based program, which can support student teachers’ professional development, a systematic and evolving approach is cruical. For the future development of teacher education at master’s level, this means that R&D competence must be emphasized from day one.Keywords: teacher education, master’s thesis, newly educated teacher, R&D knowledge, professional identity, conceptual/contextual knowledge

The implementation of inclusive education in practice results in greater complexity of the teacher's role, andpre-professional teacher's training imposes new approaches, values and expectations. The initial education is the first step in teachers’ professional training. Training of future teachers for competent performance in the field of inclusive practice should be one of the priorities in the development of curricula and programs of initial teacher's education. The aim of this research was to determine the possibilities of initial teacher's education for the acquisition and development of inclusive competencies. To obtain the necessary data, we used the documentation analysis procedure. We analyzed the initial teacher’s education programs at the University ˝Dzemal Bijedic˝ of Mostar, the University of Tuzla and the University of Zenica. The analysis of initial teacher’s education programs showed inconsistencies in the number and representation of subjects relevant to inclusive education at three universities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, lack of cross-curricular approach to inclusive education, and lack of integration of theoretical and practical participation in curricula intended for the development of inclusive competencies. The obtained results imply the direction of changes within the initial teacher education program that would lead to the more efficient acquisition of inclusive competencies of future teachers.

The paper attempts to provide a snapshot of the current practices in the Professional Development of Teachers (PDoT) in four selected countries namely, Ethiopia, Finland, India and Singapore. PDoT has been analysed in the form of a continuum of Initial Teacher Education (ITE), Induction and Continuous Professional Development (CPD). The survey of literature revealed that for ITE in two countries, i.e. Ethiopia and India, the system was unable to attract competent applicants, as a result ofwhich the professional competence of teachers suffered. On the other hand, Finland and Singapore were the epitomes of having effective ITE system. The ability to attract candidates with high potential into ITE, right amount of emphasis on theory and practice in ITE programmes, the existence of effective CPD and rigorous professional development community involving the ministry of education, universities of teacher education and schools, and high prestige for the teaching profession enabled Finland and Singapore to be the star performers in PDoT. In Finland, the provision of one-year CPD training on special needs education to all teachers and professional autonomy to teachers were the salient features whereas in Singapore, a monthly stipend for student teachers during initial teacher education and multifarious career tracks for the teacher were a few additional features. 'This survey of literature has presented significant lessons drawn from eachrespective country regardingpractices in PDoT.
