CP 93-1 When "I loved your course!" is bad news:The case of Jeneane.
AbstractThe story of Jeneane's learning from a teacher education course should be a tale replete with conflict and struggle ending in a climatic moment of either rejection of course ideas or development of new understandings. It is not. Instead, it is an account of how one highly motivated, thoughtful, and bright preservice teacher engaged positively in professional study without ever noticing or reacting to major discrepancies between her beliefs and those her professor affirmed. Interview data shed light on the process she used to interact with course work without identifying conflicting theories of how students learn or noticing that her rationales for embracing course ideas differed from her professor's. Jeneane's case suggests a series of responsibilities that teacher educators may consider incorporating into a pedagogy for preservice teacher education Publication |
