<p>This essay investigates the work situation for teacher educators at a university with focus on the subject areas education, research and administration. The research questions contain the work situation the teacher educators have, how they apprehend it, and how they find their position within the work organisation. Six interviews have been executed at the teacher education at a university. Some of the results from the investigation indicate that the teacher educators find education to be very a very demanding work and that the split of work during the academic year is uneven. The work with administration before and after the education, for example work with syllabuses and descriptions for courses, are activities demanding much time. In the work situation the teacher educators find themselves to be in a hard situation of work with few possibilities to get help from other teacher educators. A possible solution could be to work more in teams. Team learning in a learning organisation could reduce the time pressure in the teacher education, and possibly be a source of inspiration for the students in their future profession.</p>
