This paper discusses the concept of cooperative learning and the role of education of future teachers in the development of their competencies for their implementation in teaching. The aim of this paper is to research the content of relevant literature and to determine whether previous research has sufficiently included an analysis of the competence of teachers and students of teacher education and the role of educational programs in training them to successfully apply ccooperative learning. It was found that, due to the lack of appropriate competencies of teachers for the implementation of this teaching strategy, its application is often neglected. Therefore the development of adequate knowledge, skills and positive beliefs of future teachers about cooperative learning can be considered priorities of their formal education. It was found that so far only a few studies have been conducted on the actual competencies of future teachers for the successful implementation of this teaching strategy, and there is a lack of research on whether teacher education programs adequately support their development. Therefore, this paper concludes on the need to undertake research that will provide a more concrete insight into the current situation and encourage quality and more frequent application of cooperative learning in teaching practice.

Empirical Material

Syftet med denna artikel är att undersöka hur strävanden att professionalisera handledning i lärarutbildning i Norge och Finland genomförts och har resulterat i två olika partnerskapsmodeller. Fokus är i denna artikel på handledning av undervisnings-praktik. Artikeln handlar dels om den historiska framväxten av undervisningspraktik och -handledning av lärarstuderande inom lärarutbildning, dels om två exempel på pågående utvecklingsarbete inom området handledning i lärarstuderandes under-visningspraktik. I en jämförande uppställning lyfter författarna fram avgörande brytningspunkter i utvecklingen av praktik med åtföljande handledning inom lärar-utbildningen i Norge, respektive Finland. Med stöd av ett empiriskt material som synliggör hur idag verksamma handledare resonerar om kännetecken för professionell handledning, för författarna en diskussion om rådande utvecklingslinjer i Norge, med en kontrasterande jämförelse med utvecklingen i Finland. Analyserna är genomförda, dels som historisk analys (baserad på litteratur om ämnet), dels som tematisk narrativ analys av ett empiriskt material om handledning producerat som uppgift under en fortbildning i Norge respektive inom ramen för en samling med övningsskollärare i Finland.Övningsskolan i Finland har genomgått transformation, från att tidvis ha varit hårt kritiserad som konservativ och obenägen till förnyelse, samt för ojämförligt goda resurser, till att i dagsläget ha en styrkt plats som centrum för pedagogisk innovation, forskning och handledning. Den norska universitetsskolan är ung, men har likheter med dagens finska övningsskola rörande pedagogisk innovation, forskning och handledning. I dagens läge kan vi notera att professionaliseringssträvande knutna till handledning av lärarstuderande är dels uppifrån styrda, dels utvecklade inifrån professionen. Nyckelord: professionalisering, handledning, övningsskola, universitetsskola, lärarutbildning Partnership within teacher education in Norway and Finland: historical prerequisites for and practice teachers’ understanding of professional supervision AbstractThe aim of this article is to explore how attempts to professionalise supervision in teacher education in Norway and Finland have been carried out and have resulted in two different partnership models. The focus of this article is on the supervision of future teachers’ teaching practice. The article partly comprises the historical emergence of teaching practice and its supervision. It contains two examples of ongoing developmental work within the field of supervision of future teachers’ teaching practice. In juxtaposition, the authors highlight decisive turning points in the development of practice and supervision in teacher education in Norway and Finland, respectively. Based on empirical material which makes visible how supervisors currently reason around the characteristics of professional supervision, the authors discuss the predominant developmental lines in Norway, with a contrasting comparison with those in Finland. The analyses are carried out partly as historical analyses (based on literature about the subject), and partly as thematic narrative analyses of empirical material about supervision which was produced as a task during a continuous education course in Norway, and respectively in Finland within the frames of a seminar for teachers at a teacher education practice school.The practice school in Finland has undergone a transformation, from a time of being strongly criticised as conservative and not willing to renew itself, as well as of having incomparably rich resources, to the current situation, where it now has a strengthened position as a centre for pedagogical innovation, research and supervision. The Norwegian university school is young but has similarities with the Finnish practice school of today concerning pedagogical innovation, research and supervision. For the time being, we may note that the attempts to professionalise supervision are partly decided from outside, and partly developed from inside the profession.

School Period

It is believed that the time that  the undergraduate students register in Teacher Education Program they  have an extensive amount of  experience, but English for specific purpose (ESP) teachersor pre-service ESP teachers are regarded as valuable resources for recognizing attitudes or perceptions of effectiveness of ESP teachers whose classless are taught by them. Pre-service teachers surely have several specific perceptions about their future career and the effectiveness of ESP teachers whose classes are being taught by them during practice teaching. If ESP teachers are asked the question why do you want to be anESP teacher? They may have different responses such as: I want to be an ESP teacher because I have a very good image of my teachers during my school period or I want to be a  ESP teacher because I would like to follow the methods and procedures of effective teaching that my university  teachers did during teaching specific courses. However, some might have an opposite perception. Anyway, this study tries to compare the perceptions of ESP teachers before (pre-service) and after (in-service) teaching period.

This chapter explores the ongoing collaboration between an educational developer and a faculty member at a university of teacher education in Switzerland as an inquiry into one's teaching practice to improve the implementation of the flipped classroom approach. Through the lens of transformative learning theory, the chapter examines how SoTL can serve as faculty enrichment in addition to an approach for systematic reflection on practice. Special attention is paid to the role of the educational developer as a mentor throughout the inquiry. The chapter concludes with practical strategies for developing a productive SoTL relationship between educational developers and faculty member, as well as visibility across an institution.

The Impact

The article is devoted to studying the developmental perspectives of the method of professional test. It offers an understanding of the professional test as a method of «locally immersing» students in professional activities at the stage of university training. It also describes an experience of evaluating professional tests aimed at mastering work actions defined in the professional standard for teachers. The article examines research data on the impact of the professional test on the development of professional competencies (work actions) in future teachers. The research involved 50 third- and fourth-year students of the Tyumen State University majoring in «Teacher Education» («Primary School Education»).The results confirm the positive dynamics of work actions after the completion of professional tests, which points to the developmental potential of the professional test as a method of training future teachers.

Democracy’s distraction by the politics of accountability and the public’s disaffection in an ideologically bound culture of accountability further defines the work ahead for teacher educators in an era of neoliberalism. The author discusses the hegemony of neoliberalism and its political and economic threat to education and, more importantly, to the function of education in a democratic society. The author argues the need for teacher educators to advance a culture of democratic accountability in preparing future teachers. Further argued is that the current culture of technical-managerial accountability is counter intuitive to a democratic society and its educational system. The author examines the meaning of technical-managerial standards of accountability as a neoliberal agenda, presenting a counter narrative of standards of complexity as return to a culture of professional and democratic accountability.

Abstract This paper draws upon data from a broader piece of research aimed at examining pre-service teachers' views of their initial teacher education within the context of a master’s degree programme in teaching. The data were collected through questionnaires and written narratives at the beginning and at the end of the programme. In this paper, the data arising from 47 narratives at the end of the programme are presented. Five categories emerged from the qualitative data: curriculum content, teaching practice, the role of teacher educators, teaching and learning methods, the organisational aspects and structure of the programme. Although the participants identified positive aspects of the initial teacher education programme, they also stress that there is room for improvement, especially with regard to a greater coherence of the curriculum and a better articulation of its different components. Implications of the findings for enhancing the quality of initial teacher education and the role of teachers’ educators are discussed.

Abstract The article analyzes the trends in teacher education development with the aim to improve the system of education in Ukraine. The need to improve professional training of future teachers taking into account metacognitive learning strategies is emphasized. The main way of enhancing efficiency of professional knowledge acquisition is defined to be metacognitive processes. The study of psychopedagogical literature shows variety and diversity of scientific approaches to undestanding the essence of metacognitions. It is indicated that the implementation of metacognitive approach is impossible, unless the student possesses the knowledge of learning strategies. When the lecturer aims to develop them in the students, learning becomes more personality-oriented and the level of learner autonomy is increased and thinking is amplified. This, in turn, is one of the most important ways to develop self-study skills. Foreign educational science singles out three groups of learning strategies such as cognitive, socially affective and metacognitive (being the main element of educational actions). The methods of metacognitive learning in higher education institutions in France are analyzed. The metacognitive learning pattern of note-taking is defined as to be most practice-oriented. It consists of such stages as contextualization, decontextualization and recontextualization. The analysis of training programmes for future teachers proves that the implementation of metacognitive programmes into practice of higher teacher education in France is based on the following two processes: either their full assimilation with the already existing syllabi, or the expansion of syllabi with the specialized course of study in metacognitive learning. Therefore, these programmes urge lecturers to realize that under modern conditions it is necessary to switch to metalearning. Students are assisted in creating a list of competences and knowledge and are aware of the need to enhance them in the future. The analysis of metacognitive programmes for professional training of future teachers in France concludes that lecturers aim to develop future teachers’ ability to self-analyze and self-assess learning activities.
