Teacher Identity Construction in School-University Partnerships: Discourse and Practice
Trent, John; Lim, Jenny
Teaching and Teacher Education: An International Journal of Research and Studies, v26 n8 p1609-1618 Nov 2010
This article reports on a qualitative case study that explored the experiences of two groups of secondary school English language teachers as they participated in school-university partnerships in Hong Kong. Drawing upon theories of identity construction and using in-depth interviews, the case studies highlight how teacher identity formation shaped and was shaped by participation in a school-university partnership. Implications for developing a critical perspective on school-university partnerships and for future research are discussed.
