Knowledge - Keywords in Teacher Education

Key to teacher education is the knowledge base of the teacher educator, and the ways in which knowledge is conceptualised. This book explores how ideas about knowledge are used in teacher education to critically examine what knowledges are valued across research, policy and practice. The authors explore international and interdisciplinary perspectives on the nature of knowledge (and what counts as knowledge) and how these perspectives on knowledge translate into teacher education, , with a final chapter dedicated to exploring consequences for practice.>
