The Struggle for Teacher Education: International Perspectives on Governance and Reforms - Reinventing Teacher Education
Trippestad Tom Are
" Reform of teacher education is en vogue worldwide today due to the widespread belief that teacher education has the power to change traditional modes of schooling, educating new teachers who will be capable of improving the knowledge standard of children and boost the economic power of nations. The Struggle for Teacher Education brings together conceptual, comparative and empirical studies from Australia, Chile, England, Finland, The Netherlands, Norway and South Africa to explore the ways in which professional education has been positioned in a reactive mode.
