Koostöine õpikultuur võimestab õpetajaid, suurendab eneseusaldust, annab julgust situatsioone juhtida ja suurendab agentsust. Uurimuse eesmärk on välja selgitada õpetajate koostöökultuuri kogemused. Kriitilist diskursuseanalüüsi kasutades kirjeldame, kuidas 15 üldhariduskooli 45 õpetajat konstrueerivad koostöise õpikultuuri kogemust individuaalsel, suhtlus- ja sotsiaalsel tasandil ning väljendavad enda agentsust. Uuringus eendus agentsete õpetajate koostöise õpikultuuri diskursus, mille aluseks on üksteiselt õppimine, mittevõistlev keskkond, usalduslikud suhted ja tunnustamine. Konkurentsidiskursusele on omane piiratud koostöö, kuna kolleegides või juhtides nähakse takistusi. Võimestamata õpetaja diskursust iseloomustavad ei-sõnumid ja agentsuse puudumine: sellised õpetajad ei usu koostöösse, neil puuduvad head koostöökogemused, nad ei koge kolleegide ega juhtkonna toetust-tunnustust.
