Koehler examines the research regarding preservice teacher education. Selected studies are placed into six relatively dis crete categories: studies of the skills, competencies, and attitudes of practic ing teachers that reflect on their preser vice teacher education; studies of the skills, competencies, and attitudes of teacher education students that reflect either on their present or past education or on the future quality of the teaching work force; evaluations of teacher education courses, of methods within courses, or of complete programs; studies of teacher educators; studies of institutions; and studies of various research reviews. Koehler briefly sum marizes the research in each category and discusses the implications for policy making.
