West-East Reciprocal Learning in Teacher Education, Gebunden

Klappentext

During this uncertain time, teacher education has never been more needed for West-East dialogues and Reciprocal Learning. Xu and Connelly s concept of reciprocal learning aims to harmonize the West-East dichotomy and foster appreciation in education and understanding of each other s culture and history. This book focuses on the field work done by the Teacher Education Research Team with chapter contributors from Canadian and Chinese professors, graduate students and pre-service teachers who have been deeply engaged in the RLP. Following Xu and Connelly s conceptual framework of Reciprocal Learning as Collaborative Partnership, the book begins with knowing the Teacher Education RLP followed by doing the West-East reciprocal learning through the program. It concludes with a discussion of the envisioned future of the RLP and commentaries from distinguished scholars in teacher education, one from the West and the other from the East.
