Nontraditional Preservice Teacher Development: The Value of Clinical Experience.
Metcalf, Kim K.; Kahlich, Pamela A.
Journal of Research and Development in Education, v31 n2 p69-82 Win 1998
Examined the professional growth and development of nontraditional preservice teachers during a 12-month teacher certification program that included extensive on-campus clinical experience. Student interviews and guided written reflections indicated that their development was similar to that of traditional students, though it progressed more quickly. Their conceptions of good teaching developed in highly predictable ways. (Author/SM)
