Rethinking Teacher Education

Collaborative Responses to Uncertainty

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This refreshing book provides an accessible, critical and thorough analysis of the difficulties and opportunities that beset teacher education. The authors draw on philosophical, psychological and sociological perspectives and illustrate their points with a detailed mix of international examples. The book is usefully divided into three sections. The first focuses on the frameworks and themes that influence teacher education; the second provides an analysis of the political, economic and epistemological trends that collectively constitute what we call an age of uncertainty in teacher education; and the last discusses ways in which we can attempt to deal with this uncertainty. Each chapter ends with suggestions for seminars and further reading, and includes unique activities in which readers are prompted into making inter-disciplinary reflections on teacher education.

Rethinking Teacher Education is a thorough and critical analysis of the ambivalences and uncertainties that face those in teacher education. The authors draw on their different experiences of teacher education to try to make sense of current practices and where they might lead. The book analyzes past and present constructions of teacher education and offers insights into how a re-evaluation might address teachers' positions in relation to knowledge, learners, economic demands and democratic values. The issues addressed include: * political and economic uncertainty and teacher education * philosophical uncertainty and teacher education * modernist policy solutions * psychology: an agent of modernity in teacher education * sociocultural and other collaborative responses to uncertainty. The book will be of interest to all those involved in teacher education, including sociologists, psychologists and philosophers of education.
