This course, ‘Making sense of learning to teach’, draws on what we know about how people learn to become teachers. It explores the different approaches to teacher education and the different routes into teaching. It will help you to understand the philosophical and practical differences between the different approaches. It draws on research about students' experiences of learning to teach and considers the implications of this in designing teacher education programmes.
After studying
this course, you should be able to:
1.

the differences in opinion about what Initial Teacher Education (ITE) is trying
to achieve.
2.
Understand
the differences in perception of the student teachers’ role in ITE.
3.
Recognise
some of the ways in which these differences manifest themselves.
4.
Understand
effective student teacher learning and how students themselves perceive the
process of learning to teach.
Making the decision to become a teacher can be a
life-changing moment for many people. For some, they will have known for a long
time that this was the career they wished to follow. For others, it may be a
rather more dramatic change of direction. What may not be apparent at that
early stage, is the challenge of choosing a route into teaching from the
plethora of courses and qualifications available or differences in opinion that
surround how we develop student teachers.
These differences are demonstrated in the way that the development of teachers is described. For some ‘teacher training’ best describes what the provider feels they are doing, while for others the term ‘teacher education’ better represents their view of what they are striving for. This may seem like a trivial distinction, but it reveals fundamental differences of opinion, underpinned by different perspectives on what is expected of teachers and indeed of what teaching is. For ease, the term ‘Initial Teacher Education (ITE)’ will be used throughout this course, but this course will provide an introduction to these differences, both at a theoretical and practical level.
