Reflective and Reflexive Practice in Initial Teacher Education: a critical case study

Abstract

This article outlines approaches that are being adopted to encourage students training to be teachers on a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) course to reflect upon their teaching. It takes the form of a special case designed to nurture good practice in Teacher Education. Applications for those working in higher education are discussed. A distinction has been made between reflection and reflexivity (Ashmore, 1989; Bourdieu & Wacquant, 1992). It was found that engaging students in reflexivity can have benefits in terms of classroom effectiveness and reflective writing can play an enhancing role in this process. It was found that many students were judged to have exhibited reflexivity in their teaching and in their written work. Ways in which the emphasis on reflective practice has led to the development of classroom skills were identified.     

Problems of accountability in reinvented government: a case study of the Teacher Training Agency

This paper has as its focus the Teacher Training Agency (TTA), its structure and working practices. The Agency will be placed in context of the policy of ‘reinvented government’ which has been emerging in the UK over the last decade. Restructuring the organisational and administrative framework of public policy has given rise to issues concerning principles of accountability and representation. Such concerns are reflected in commentaries and evaluation of the TTA. In this sense, a central aim of the paper is to articulate the specifics of the TTA with the wider social policy literature which addresses the effects and democratic implications of public sector restructuring and the consequences for policy analysis.     

Participatory planning for project sustainability of environmental education projects: a case study of the Secondary Teacher Training Environmental Education Project (St2eep) in Zimbabwe

Within the first year of the Secondary Teacher Training Environmental Education Project (St²eep) in Zimbabwe, project stakeholders, including lecturers, college administrators, local project coordinators, and donor representatives, expressed concern about the non‐sustainability of the project due to its over‐reliance on its international donor. In response to this challenge, a process of critical self‐reflection through self‐assessment workshops was started to give an opportunity for key project stakeholders to explore the challenge of project sustainability. Applying the principles of expansive learning theory to St²eep’s reflection processes, this paper shows how the contradictions that emerge from the interaction between different project stakeholders can be powerful sources for learning. This has resulted in new forms of activity to address the challenge of project sustainability in St²eep. The insights of this paper may be useful for other donor‐funded environmental education projects that are confronted with the challenge of project sustainability.

Solving Local Environmental Problems in Environmental Education: A Brazilian case study

A discussion is developed regarding the ideological implications of the use of local environmental problem solving as a methodology suggested by UNESCO at the Tbilisi Conference, as well as in various Brazilian federal policy documents. Whether understood as a theme-generator or an end-in-itself, environmental education practice may be divided into two types, with different ideological repercussions as regards their very essence; namely a commitment to transform contemporary society's values.     

Environmental Education in Serbian Primary Schools: Challenges and Changes in Curriculum,Pedagogy, and Teacher Training

The protection of human health and the preservation of the environment are topics that form an integral part of the primary school curriculum in Serbia. However, research studies have shown that students do not have enough knowledge to contribute to the development of a healthy lifestyle and environmental awareness. The latest changes in school policy and curricula confirm that the relevance of environmental education has been recognized, but changes in school practice are yet to come. This article discusses the challenges encountered in the implementation of the intended curriculum and offers suggestions for changes to the curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher training in order to enhance environmental education.     

Higher Education and Teacher Training in Norway

By "higher education" is meant all types of tuition provided by universities, colleges, and other post-secondary educational institutions which may be attended by students who have either completed their three-year upper secondary program and have passed their final examination, or who can prove that they have reached a corresponding level of competence. Higher education used to be the prerogative of those who had passed their final examination at the old gymnas (high school); this examination, known as examen artium, may be defined as the Norwegian equivalent of the British GCE "A" Level examination, the German Abitur, or the French baccalauréat.

Teacher behavior and student outcomes: Results of a European study

This study investigates the extent to which the factors included in the dynamic model of educational effectiveness are associated with student achievement gains in six different European countries. At classroom level, the dynamic model refers to eight factors relating to teacher behavior in the classroom: orientation, structuring, questioning, teaching-modeling, application, management of time, teacher role in making classroom a learning environment, and classroom assessment. This paper presents results concerned with the impact of the teacher factors on student achievement. In each participating country (i.e., Belgium/Flanders, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Ireland, and Slovenia), a sample of at least 50 primary schools (n?=?334) was drawn. Written tests in mathematics and science were administered to all grade 4 students (n?=?10,742) at the beginning and at the end of the school year 2010–2011. Students were also asked to complete a questionnaire concerning the eight teacher factors of the dynamic model. Structural equation modeling techniques were used to test the construct validity of the student questionnaire. Both across and within country analyses revealed that student ratings are reliable and valid for measuring the functioning of the teacher factors included in the dynamic model. Multilevel analyses revealed that teacher factors are associated with student achievement gains in mathematics and science. Implications for the development of educational effectiveness research and for improving quality of teaching are drawn.

教师教育发展与高师外语教师教育课程改革探究

在教师教育发展中,"知识"的地位特别重要,教师专业技能、专业知识、专业情意等问题都是关键的专业性问题。现阶段,教师专业化逐步从以技术熟练为核心向以实践为核心的范式发展,从掌握公共教育知识逐步转移为掌握个体实践知识。培养教师专业知识离不开课程体系,教师教育改革也要以课程改革为着眼点。高师院校外语教师教育课程还存在一些问题,应该基于问题探索针对性、操作性较强的解决策略,以有效增强课程体系的专业发展,提高实践体验,达到融通整合的最终目的。

In-Service Teacher Training in Higher Education: the Netherlands

In-service training within an organization is justified only if day-to-day practice does not meet certain standards. Not all the gaps, however, between the desired and the actual practice can be bridged or even narrowed by in-service training. A preliminary analysis of the practical problems may be warranted before one can decide upon any in-service training programme. Other solutions should be considered as well.     

Changing Teacher Education through Technology: a study of the Remote Area Teacher Education Project

ABSTRACT

Despite the overall proliferation of technology and its impact on people's everyday lives, tertiary education institutions generally have yet to utilise the educational potential of information technology. There is an enormous disparity between technology as an educational resource outside of these institutions and as a medium for learning inside. The same is generally true for teacher education programmes within institutes of higher education.
