Finnish teacher education is research-based and all teachers are educated to the masterâs level. Every teacher also writes a Masterâs Thesis as part of his or her studies. During teacher education, we emphasize the importance of the teacherâs pedagogical thinking, personal practical theory, reflection, and inquiry-orientation, and these are also practised in many ways during theoretical as well as practical studies. But how are the skills provided by this research-based teacher education realized in a teacherâs work? What does inquiry-orientation mean in reality? What do the teachers do when they âresearch their own workâ, or the community is committed to inquiry-orientation? We asked 135 teachers these questions. We wanted to know specifically what they understand by inquiry-orientation, how it is realized in an individual teacherâs work, and how it is realized in the school community. The responses were very multifaceted, and it became clear that the teachers understood inquiry-orientation to be a complex phenomenon. It was seen, for example, as everyday work, where a teacher develops and educates him/herself. It also meant reflection, doing things in another (new) way, getting feedback, and using inquiry as a method of teaching.
