This study explores the question of how social studies education researchers might more fully engage novice social studies teachers in research. Utilizing an action research framework, the author investigates the nexus between recently published topics in social studies research and salient instructional problems perceived by a sample of novice social studies teachers. The results suggest that university researchers may have to collaborate more closely with teachers to identify areas of shared concern.
