Research should be conducted not merely to describe but to ground theory and inform practice. General educational research regarding teacher education contains major gaps in the content of existing studies and in recommendations for what should be studied about teacher education in the future (Yarger & Smith, 1990). Research in art education regarding teacher preparation has followed this national trend. Over the past 2 decades, this notion has been increasingly supported by several noted art education researchers (Davis, 1990; Day, 1997; Eisner, 1979, 1993a; Galbraith, 1995; Stokrocki, 1995a; Sullivan, 1996; Zimmerman, 1994a).
