Powerful Pedagogy: Learning from and about Teaching in an Elementary Literacy Course
Thompson, Clarissa S.
Teaching & Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, v22 n2 p194-204 Feb 2006
Pedagogy is an important aspect of teacher education, and the teacher educator's pedagogy can help the preservice teacher understand the complexities inherent in teaching. This study examined one elementary literacy course in a master's level teacher education program. Data collection involved classroom observation and interviews with the professor and two students. In this course, the professor models good teaching and designs valuable projects and experiences for her students. Her thoughtful and continual consideration of pedagogy serves to make this an exemplary teacher education course and highlights the powerful role that pedagogy can play in teacher education.
