• Resumen

  • As a term, in 2011, 'in-service education' no longer seems to have much currency, having belateciJy given way in the late 1g8os to 'professional development', the preferred term used in thejames Report, Teacher Education and Training, of 1972. The field of extended education and training for teachers has evolved, and continues to evolve, both in terms of professional practice and academic literature. As Wendy Robinson commented recently in the History if Education Researcher, 'in-service teacher education has received very limited attention' from historians of education,' a deficiency that is now beginning to be addressed.
