Produktbeschreibung
This book is a two part story. First, it explores the
history of teacher preparation as it emerged in
Western Europe and was then transported to America in
the seventeenth century. The influence of
ideological, philosophical, and theological
conceptualization of education and the influence of
these ways of thinking on the methods developed to
prepare teachers is presented. The story then shifts
its focus to examine how these antecedents led to the
establishment and institutionalization of teacher
preparation in the normal schools of the
mid-nineteenth century and how these institutions
became the conceptual foundation of teacher
preparation in America. This book presents these
conceptual foundations as they became manifest in the
establishment of the Michigan State Normal School
(MSNS) from its founding in 1849 to its transition to
a four-year college in 1900.
