Abstract

While youth are the ultimate stakeholders of schooling, they are rarely consulted to share their knowledge in teacher education settings. This mixed-methods study examines a social studies methods class in which youth were active participants in pre-service teachers’ learning. We use critical qualitative research methods to explore how youth and pre-service teachers experience three different pedagogies: panels, rehearsals, and cogenerative dialogues.
