Dispositions and Preservice Teachers of the Millennial Generation
Austin, Kenneth R.
Teacher Education and Practice, v22 n2 p205-216 Spr 2009
In this article, I argue that teacher preparation programs must address the dispositions that lead to successful patterns of professional conduct and attitudes. I situate the thesis within the discussion on dispositions and the focus on preparing teachers of the millennial generation. I further examine the dispositions that the millennial students in a teacher preparation program possess, offering insight regarding how the generation was educated and how it views education. Data were collected from disposition assessment surveys, observations, notes from classroom discussions, and processing charts written within group activities in introductory education classes. Reported here are the dispositional themes and indicators of preservice teachers' dispositional deficiencies.
