Abstract | Internationally, teacher education is seen as a powerful lever for change in schooling, and there has been a global trend for ‘reform’ of curricula, outcome and assessment measures, partnership requirements, practicum experiences and routes in teaching. Amidst this plethora of activity, teacher educators – as key agents in the highly contested field of teacher education - remain an under-researched and poorly understood occupational group. This is a particular concern for any teacher education system that aspires to a model of high quality, research-informed pre-service programmes, conducted in research-rich environments. But concern becomes a matter of extreme urgency in the national context of England where a teacher education system, traditionally based in Higher Education, is being systematically dismantled by an ideologically driven government. |
