TL;DR: In the second practicum, the associate teacher made me feel very comfortable and gave me the freedom to experiment that I didn't have during the first practicum as mentioned in this paper, which was a good thing.
Abstract: In the secondpracticum I had instant rapport with my associate teacher; she made me feel very comfortable. One of the first things she said to me was, "I understand how important this report is, and I don't want you to worry because I m not going to give you a bad report. " She also said, "You know, you 're here to learn, you 're hereto make mistakes; we all make mistakes when we 're starting. " So she gave me the freedom to experiment that I didn 't have during the first practicum. (Liz, student teacher)

TL;DR: In this paper, a policy of heavy involvement in practicum supervision by all members of their faculty team was adopted, and the authors also devised ways of supporting the faculty in their supervision.
Abstract: Preservice practicum supervision is often carried out by special supervisory staff rather than by tenured or tenure-track education faculty. Some researchers feel this creates an unfortunate separation between the campus program and the practicum and results in lost opportunities to strengthen the school-university partnership. Five years ago, in an elementary preservice cohort program, the authors adopted a policy of heavy involvement in practicum supervision by all members of their faculty team; the authors also devised ways of supporting the faculty in their supervision. Over the past 4 years, the authors studied the effects of applying this model; it was found to strengthen the school-university partnership, enhance both the practicum and the campus program, and help faculty grow in knowledge and understanding of schooling. However, the approach was time-consuming and presented some other challenges for faculty. If it is to be adopted widely in preservice education, stronger institutional support is n...

TL;DR: In this article, a study of a group of associate teachers revealed that they found their role satisfying and gave student teachers a considerable amount of support, feedback and direction, however, they often seemed to be rather "tough" on the student teachers, limiting their freedom to innovate, giving them a very heavy workload and generating in them an anxiety.
Abstract: The research literature indicates lack of clarity and agreement about the role of 'associate teachers'—teachers who supervise teacher education students during their practicum. This study of a group of associate teachers revealed that they found their role satisfying and gave student teachers a considerable amount of support, feedback and direction. However, they often seemed to be rather 'tough' on the student teachers, limiting their freedom to innovate, giving them a very heavy workload and generating in them a considerable amount of anxiety. The study suggests the need for joint inquiry with associate teachers to establish a clear conception of teaching and learning, a conception which can guide the ongoing development of the pre-service programme and be modelled by associate teachers and university faculty in their relationships with student teachers.

Abstract: Experience and Educationis the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analysing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

TL;DR: In this article, a critical examination of democratic theory and its implications for the civic education roles and contributions of teachers, adult educators, community development practitioners, and community organizers is presented.
Abstract: Course Description In this course, we will explore the question of the actual and potential connections between democracy and education. Our focus of attention will be placed on a critical examination of democratic theory and its implications for the civic education roles and contributions of teachers, adult educators, community development practitioners, and community organizers. We will survey and deal critically with a range of competing conceptions of democracy, variously described as classical, republican, liberal, radical, marxist, neomarxist, pragmatist, feminist, populist, pluralist, postmodern, and/or participatory. Using narrative inquiry as a means for illuminating and interpreting contemporary practice, we will analyze the implications of different conceptions of democracy for the practical work of civic education.
