Faculty of Education seminar - Clayton campus

Published: 18 February 2009

Learning to teach and teaching to learn

by Pernilla Nilsson, Halmstead University, Sweden

The journey of primary science teachers from learners to teachers is often quite complex. On the way they absorb scientific pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). If student teachers are encouraged to identify and reflect on critical incidents in their own teaching practice, either in primary schools or science learning centres, then they are more likely to conceptualise aspects of their practice that may be of concern to them. This should then foster the accumulation of PCK. This seminar will report on and discuss four studies that have looked at the experience of primary science student teachers as they deal with critical incidents in the course of learning to be teachers.

All welcome.
