Theory and Practice in Teacher Education (TAPTE)
(completed)
This project examines how teacher students perceive aspects of practice training and theoretical oriented education during their teacher education.
The pedagogical part of a teacher training programmes typically contains both practical and theoretical elements. The theoretical part is likely to be administered through campus based activities (lectures, seminars and such like based on the syllabus), whereas the practical part is mostly taken care of by placing student teachers in schools where they are to teach and be supervised by the teachers of that school.
Teacher education in Norway is:
- a four-year general teacher education.
- a one year teacher education programme for students who have completed the required studies in the humanities, social science or natural sciences.
- an integrated five year programme qualifying for secondary school teaching.
All three parts will be studied in this project. In addition, the project will develop further knowledge on how the teacher students perceive the relation between theory and practice during teacher education, and on how these perceptions vary by type of programme.
