Attitudes of Student-Teachers Towards Written Teacher's Guide
Lea, Baratz; Sara, Hauptman
Higher Education Studies, v2 n1 p70-78 Mar 2012
The literature on Teacher's Guides combines knowledge of discipline-related content and pedagogy-related content in reference to the objectives and contents of the Ministry of Education curriculum. It serves as a self-study tool that provides guidelines of how to teach in light of the various changing goals and needs of the teacher. The corpus on which this research focused was the Teacher's Guide for Hebrew literature and the question we focused on was: Do student-teachers of Hebrew literature at a teacher education college who use this tool find that it meets their expectations? The qualitative and quantitative findings of the research, which involved 21 student-teachers for Hebrew literature at a teacher education college, led to the conclusion that the students' expectations of the Teacher's Guide differ from the disciplinary qualities and especially the didactic qualities it actually contains. The Teacher's Guide is not organized in a manner suited to student-teachers even though they are a primary target audience for it.
