De nye femårige grunnskolelærerutdanningene på masternivå skal kvalifisere for en profesjonsutøvelse som bygger på forsknings- og utviklingsarbeid (FoU). Det finnes få norske studier som undersøker hvordan lærere forstår og anvender forskningsbasert kunnskap i yrket (Mausethagen, 2015). Denne studien undersøker følgende forskningsspørsmål: Hvordan anvender nyutdannede lærere med master i ...
