Traditions of Reform in U.S. Teacher Education.
Zeichner, Kenneth M.; Liston, Daniel P.
Journal of Teacher Education, v41 n2 p3-20 Mar-Apr 1990
Describes four traditions of reform in twentieth-century U.S. teacher education: academic, social efficiency, developmentalist, and social reconstructionist. Each tradition is illustrated with examples from contemporary and earlier programs. It is argued that this framework of reform traditions can help clarify differences among ideas and practices in teacher education. (Author/IAH)
