Korábbi hazai felmérések rámutattak arra, hogy a pedagógusképzésben résztvevő hallgatók képzéssel kapcsolatos elvárásai nem minden esetben teljesülnek. A jelöltek úgy érzik, az egyetemi képzés nem szentel kellő figyelmet a tanulási-tanítási folyamat hatékony irányításához szükséges szakmai kompetenciák fejlesztésére. Ezek az adatok egybecsengenek a kezdő pedagógusok kihívásaival foglalkozó hazai és nemzetközi kutatásokkal is. Kutatásunk a gyakorlóiskolák tanárképzésben betöltött szerepét és hatékonyságát vizsgálta ún. felderítő típusú esettanulmányon keresztül. A mintát az Eszterházy Károly Egyetem gyakorlóiskolai képzésében résztvevő hallgatók (N=22), az egyetemen tanító szakmódszertanos oktatók (N=16) és a gyakorlóiskolában tanító pedagógusok (N=102) alkották. Mérőeszközeink nyílt és zárt (likert-skálás, egyválasztós, többválasztós) kérdéseket tartalmazó online kérdőívek voltak. Az általuk nyert adatok segítségével leíró és matematikai statisztikai vizsgálatokat végeztünk. A nyílt kérdésekre adott válaszok elemzése tartalomelemzéssel, nyílt kódolással történt, a kategóriák megbízhatóságát intra-kódolás biztosította. Eredményeink szerint a tanárképzés hallgatók által visszajelzett hiányosságainak hátterében számos okok között az intézményen belüli és intézmények közötti szakmai együttműködés hiánya áll. A kölcsönösségen alapuló egyenrangú szakmai együttműködés gondolata sem a gyakorlóiskola pedagógusai sem pedig az egyetemi oktatók nézetrendszerében nem élvez prioritást. A csoportos gyakorlat fő célja a hallgatók egyéni tanítási képességeinek fejlesztése, ugyanakkor azok a képességek, amelyek a szakmai együttműködést tennék lehetővé, nem kapnak kellő figyelmet. Emellett a pedagógusok tanítási-tanulási folyamatra vonatkozó nézeteiben sem jelenik meg domináns fogalomként a szakmai együttműködés. Eredményeink alapján olyan javaslatokat fogalmaztunk meg, amelyek támogatják a hazai pedagógusképzés megújítását. ----- Fields which should be developed in Teacher Education in the mirror of professional cooperation ----- arlier Hungarian researches pointed out that student teachers’ expectations related to Teacher Education have not always been fulfilled. The candidates think that during their university training certain professional competences are not adequately developed. These professional competences are classroom management, supporting students with special needs and cooperation with parents. These data coincide with the results of Hungarian and international studies dealing with challenges which novice teachers have to cope with. Our research examined the role and effectiveness of practice schools in Teacher Education with a descriptive case-study. The sample consisted of student teachers doing their MA courses at Eszterházy Károly University (N=22), university instructors of subject methodology (N=16) and teachers working at the university’s practice school (N=102). Our research tools were online questionnaires containing Likert-scales and open-ended questions. The data were analysed with descriptive and mathematical statistics. The open-ended questions were content analysed with an open coding process of the answers. The reliability of our categories was provided with intra-coding. Our results showed that the one of some weaknesses of the present system is the lack of cooperation between the university and the practice school. The main goal of the school group practice is to improve candidates’ individual skills but those of enhancing collaboration are not developed adequately. Moreover, the lack of cooperation is a relevant issue among school teachers concerning their beliefs related to the teaching-learning process. On the basis of our results we formed some proposals in connection with renewing Hungarian Teacher Education. We hope that our suggestions will help change the student teachers’ group practice and form new foundations of the partnership between the university and the practice school.

Cooperative Development (CD) is viewed by its creator, Julian Edge (1992), as a model of interaction to support the development of teaching professionals by which they become more aware of their practice as they are empowered to act within and upon it with increased confidence. Based upon equality and cooperation, in CD experiential understanding is valued as much as intellectual comprehension, while speaking and being listened to as aids to thinking and deeper reflection are paramount to the approach. Edge also believes that CD has a limited application in most teaching-learning situations, where equality is not usually the norm. The authors of the article, however, consider the use of CD with pre-service teachers during their teaching practices as an approach that, if implemented, may foster greater awareness and confidence in student-teachers as well alleviate one of the problems of the present system that exists in the Institute of English and American Studies (IEAS) at the University of Gdańsk: a heavy reliance upon written documentation produced by the students which is, de facto, a way of monitoring the practices after their completion rather than providing support for students when they are involved in them. In considering whether or not teaching practices based upon CD are feasible in IEAS, the following areas are examined: CD as an approach in teacher development, the level of acceptance of dialogical practices in Polish education generally, the present system of teaching practices in IEAS, data gathered from previous research connected with those practices, as well as analysis of documentation connected with their administration. Measures that would have to be undertaken if CD were to be implemented as an approach in support of pre-service teacher development are also considered in the discussion.

Clinical and field experiences in physical education teacher education programs have gradually been added to the student teaching experience to allow student teachers more opportunities to develop teaching skills. The quality of these experiences appears to depend largely on the many contextual variables the student teachers confront rather than the successful performance of the teaching skills being practiced. If beginning physical education teachers are to share in a pedagogy developed from research in classroom management, instructional time, and teaching strategies, and if teaching skills are to be developed specific to these areas, then repeated supervised practice in a variety of settings is needed. The teacher education program described contains a sequentially arranged pattern of nine clinical and field experiences culminating in the final student teaching experience. The essential features of the pedagogical experiences are detailed, emphasizing time engaged in practice teaching, teaching skill focus, supervisory/data collection focus, and pupil teacher ratio.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine career-change student teachers’ practice-based learning in teacher training, with a special focus on the support they received. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a qualitative content analysis of 15 group interviews, including 58 career-change student teachers and focuses on their learning at university and the workplace. Findings This paper indicates that career-change student teachers’ learning is task-related and based on interactions. It benefits from the support provided by actors at the university and workplace. Their learning is highly self-regulated and built on skills from prior professional and life experience. However, behaviourist learning and trial-and-error learning strategies are more often mentioned than constructionist learning and goal-oriented learning. Practical implications The findings underline the fact that universities and schools can enhance career-change student teachers’ learning by providing professional support, helping them to form links between experience from their prior profession, as well as their knowledge acquired at the university and experience from the workplace. Originality/value Until now, few studies have addressed workplace learning in teacher education. The present study aims to address this lack. Moreover, the study shows how career-change student teachers deal with the challenge of bridging the gap between theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during practice-based teacher education.

Research on the use of iPad in initial teacher education is limited. This paper outlines a study to examine how the professional learning and pedagogical knowledge development of student teachers could be supported following 1:1 iPad deployment on a second level initial teacher education programme in Ireland. Findings show that iPad can be utilised both as an effective pedagogical tool and as a medium for the creation of new learning spaces where student teachers' professional and pedagogical knowledge development is supported through feedback, peer-learning, resource sharing and critical reflection. Creating resources with and for iPad as part of a collaborative design process can also support student teachers in developing and integrating technological, pedagogical and content knowledge (TPACK) within their approaches to teaching, learning and assessment. Implications for initial teacher education providers and the integration of technology within schools are outlined.

This paper describes the views of student teachers of craft about the future of craft as a school subject. The study was conducted at the University of Turku, Department of Teacher Education, in Rauma in 2014. The literature review revealed that the subject of craft in Finnish basic education is understood as a dialog between the maker and the materials. However, teaching and learning craft in schools and in teacher education has a strong gender-based tradition. The aim of this study is to investigate student teachers’ understanding of craft as a school subject in the future and their solutions to teaching craft in basic education. The data were collected from essays (N = 20) written by student teachers of craft. The essays were analyzed qualitatively using content analysis. The results showed that the student teachers of craft viewed holistic craft, reflective action readiness, entrepreneurial behaviour, multiple skills, the use of versatile materials, and craft as sources of pleasure and the main solutions for the future of craft as a subject.

Conventional teacher education programs follow an apprenticeship model and, in so doing,aspire to provide student teachers with pedagogical skills and techniques derived from a preexisting body of knowledge. In this contribution to HER's special series, "Teachers, Teaching,and Teacher Education," Kenneth M. Zeichner and Daniel P. Liston argue that the conventional approach inhibits the self-directed growth of student teachers and thereby fails to promote their full professional development. Illustrating an alternative model, the authors describe and assess the elementary student teaching program at the University of Wisconsin,Madison — a program oriented toward the goals of reflective teaching, greater teacher autonomy,and increasing democratic participation in systems of educational governance.

Entry into teaching in the future is likely to be via three main routes-the B.Ed. degree, offered in many of the former Colleges of Education; a degree followed by a one-year postgraduate certificate in education; and a concurrent course. All three routes are available in Bath, in either the University or the College of Higher Education, and all are validated by the University. This paper seeks to trace the regional origins of the students who are recruited to these courses and to make some comparison with a more general study of the University's undergraduate intake in 1968 carried out by G. H. Hones (1973). Some similarities exist between the College intake of today and the University intake of 1968, but there are some interesting differences in recruitment to teacher education between the three routes.

<p><em>In the article "Image of the University Faculty in the View of Student Teachers", the methods of survey and analysis of performance results are used to explore the image of university faculty in the experience of students of teacher education and pedagogics. An illustrative example is one of the key tools of education in pedagogics. It is significant to investigate the image of university faculty in teacher education because the university teacher also serves as a model of the professional pedagogical performance for student teachers in teacher education. The article highlights the visual image of the university teacher and their most typical personality traits that might have impacts on the future professional performance of student teachers.</em> <em></em></p>

This article aims to illustrate a 7-month trial of digital book subscription services in teacher education. Student teachers of the University of Turku in Finland were encouraged to implement the service as part of their free time reading. The experiences of the digital subscription service were investigated using a questionnaire, and data were analyzed through a combination of qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. The aim of the study was to consider the value of digital book subscription services in terms of reading for pleasure and to describe the readership of teacher students as well as their assessment of digital book subscription services as a pedagogical approach for supporting the reading of primary school students. The results indicated that digital book subscription services might enhance the readership of occasional readers and that audiobook services should be implemented more frequently in education since they seem to connect reading to other free time activities. More effort should be placed in supporting the readership of teacher students in teacher education. Currently, the attitude and amount of reading rely primarily on childhood experiences.
