Fantasy's Confines: Popular Culture and the Education of the Female Primary School Teacher.
Robertson, Judith P.
Canadian Journal of Education, v22 n2 p123-43 Spr 1997
Fantasy in the thinking of preservice teachers was studied with 12 white Canadian women learning to teach primary school. Findings reveal powerful fantasies of love and devotion among preservice teachers. They should be encouraged to explore these fantasies as an avenue to self-understanding and understanding of the teacher's role. (SLD)
