Teaching about Teaching: Examining the Pedagogy of Teacher Education in India
Srinivasan, Rajashree
Higher Education for the Future, v3 n2 p197-212 Jul 2016
Developing a pedagogy of teacher education is an enduring concern for teacher educators. Drawing on data from a small study on teacher educators teaching in a secondary teacher education programme in India, this article examines their pedagogic practices. This is a qualitative study that sought to capture the narrations of 30 teacher educators teaching in diverse teacher education classrooms. The article frames the pedagogy of teacher education as four "problems": as a curriculum problem; as a relational problem; as a professional knowledge base problem; and as a learning problem. Such a formulation highlights the challenges faced by the teacher educators, including the need for teacher educators to scrutinize their own practices. Implications for developing a framework on "what should teacher educators know and do in the context of India" are considered in order to guide teacher educator preparation and their continuous development.
