This paper deals with the use of action research in a postgraduate teacher education programme. The first part of the article presents the initial education of secondary teachers in Greece, as well as a postgraduate university programme that could be viewed as an alternative pre-service teacher education (PTE) programme, as implemented in a partnership between a tertiary education institution and certain secondary schools. The second part of the article describes the research I conducted during the programme, as an educator and researcher. It is a case study, aiming at investigating how the school-based PTE programme was experienced by its participants, including the student-teachers and myself, as their supervisor and an educator from a tertiary education institution. Data were collected from questionnaire surveys and interviews administered to the student-teachers, as well as from my personal journal
