Rachel Throop: Practice, Gebunden

Klappentext

Practice is a common word. We talk about a doctor's practice, a contemplative practice, and also a teaching practice. It is also tied to learning; people learn to teach by practicing in real or simulated contexts. This book examines the multiple and complex meanings of the term practice, focusing on how certain approaches to teaching become both normalized and exported across the globe through teacher education programs. Looking at the cultural and political history of how practice is used in teacher education helps us to understand the central tensions in teacher education internationally, excavating the past in order to develop critical visions for the future of teacher education.
