29.048 - Practice What You Teach: International Studies of the Enactment of Practice in Teacher Education

Fri, April 28, 10:35am to 12:05pm, Grand Hyatt San Antonio, Floor: Second Floor, Lone Star Ballroom Salon A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

In the US, policy makers as well as teacher educators are paying increasing attention to how teacher candidates learn to enact practice. However, we know little about the degree to which candidates in other countries have opportunities to learn to enact practice in teacher education, how contexts might differ, and how such opportunities are built into overall program design across different settings. Building upon calls for more comparative, international research in teacher education, this session shares findings from studies of the enactment of practice in teacher education coursework and program design across diverse settings in Scandinavia, Europe, US and South America, drawing from shared measures across papers. The session will share implications for teacher education program design.
