Practice Teaching: Survival in a Marginal Situation.
Clifton, Rodney A.
Canadian Journal of Education, v4 n3 p60-74 1979
The author questions the value of practice teaching, asserting that student teachers occupy a marginal position within the school, having neither the authority nor the knowledge of group rituals needed to legitimatize them in that community. Experiencing such marginality can be stressful and deflating to the self-concept. (SJL)
