The initial education of high school teachers : a critical review of major issues and trends
This paper draws on major research findings in international literature in order to provide a critical
review of a number of key issues and trends in the initial education of high school teachers. Firstly,
this paper contextualizes the prevalent discourse surrounding the field of initial teacher education
(ITE) and explores the effect that this discourse has on the conceptualization of teachers’ work.
Secondly, this paper focuses on the debates regarding the most propitious site for the teacher
education enterprise, the programme structure for ITE, the field placement or practicum, the
relationship between subject study and pedagogy, and the overall effectiveness of teacher education.
The paper concludes by considering the new challenges that the field of initial teacher education
must confront and the implications of such challenges for the ITE curriculum.peer-reviewe
