חקר הכשרת מורים – היענות לאתגרים, לדרישות ולציפיות של המחקר-העצמי
א. להבהרה של הפילוסופיה של המעשה ולבדיקת עקביות בין אמונות אישיות למעשה;
ב. לחקר היבט ייחודי זה או אחר של המעשה;
ג. לפיתוח דגם של רפלקציה ביקורתית;
ד. ליצירת חלופות משמעותיות יותר לתהליכי ההערכה המוסדיים (Berry, 2004c). עם זאת צריך, כאמור, להיזהר מהתרכזות באישי ומהתעלמות מתשומות חיצוניות חשובות (בדיקת הנתונים, העלאת שאלות לגבי מסגרות מושגיות ופרשנויות ועוד).
