Handbook of Research on Teacher Education. Second Edition.
Sikula, John, Ed.; And Others
Research-based
reform continues to strike a balance between the academic theories and
classroom realities. This handbook provides a set of guidelines for the
preparation of skilled instructors at all levels and career stages of
teaching; establishes a curriculum for teacher education; and offers a
forum for discussion in the field among teachers, teacher educators, and
administrators. The volume seeks to balance the transitory nature of a
career in education with the long-term commitment such a career entails,
and examines the need for teacher education programs that would not
only prepare instructors for new challenges but would provide them with
the knowledge and skills to develop their professional careers and adapt
their educational philosophies to the latest scholastic trends. In 48
chapters, leading authorities in the field of teacher education provide
an approach to research-based reform and a pivotal analysis of
professional growth. The handbook is organized into the following seven
sections: (1) teacher education as a field of study; (3) recruitment,
selection and initial preparation; (3) contextual influences on teacher
education; (4) teacher education curriculum; (5) continuing professional
growth, development and assessment; (6) diversity and equity issues;
and (7) emerging directions in teacher education. (LL)
