Описание: Becoming a Teacher provides a broad context for understanding education, addressing issues such as the influence of international policy and practice, education ideology and social justice. This is balanced with practical advice for the classroom on topics such as assessment for learning, learning technologies, literacy, numeracy and English as an additional language.
Becoming a Teacher draws extensively on contemporary research and empirical evidence to support critical reflection about learning and teaching. Encouraging you to reflect on your knowledge and beliefs, it explores some of the complex social and cultural influences that influence professional learning and practice. The approach chimes with the governments recognition that trainee teachers should take a research-informed approach towards classroom practice.
The fifth edition is refreshed and revitalized throughout, with:
- a complete revision of each chapter
- new chapters on Reforming ITE, Teachers Lives and Careers, International Influences, Engagement and Motivation, Learning and the Emotions, Data Usage in Schools, Safeguarding and Learning with Digital Technologies
- up-to-date referencing of research findings
- insightful policy analysis
- critical commentary on issues
For those training to teach in secondary school on a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) or a School Direct programme, or taking an undergraduate or postgraduate Education Studies course, Becoming a Teacher provides invaluable support, insight and guidance.
With every new edition this book confirms its place as one of the most commanding, authoritative and influential texts in teacher education.
