Abstract | The idea that breaks from experience are necessary and salutary in teacher education is a response to an enduring problem of teacher education: the fact that aspiring teachers come to their preparation with set ideas about teaching, learning, and schooling that fit with the larger ideal and institutional order into which they were born. Typically, the pedagogy and school learning aspiring teachers are well versed in is not the sort that teacher educators want them to promote, and novices' understanding of children is limited, based on their own experiences. This paper examines the justifications for breaking with experience that center, first, on the limitations of what teachers learn about their work through their experience of schools and, second, on comparisons of teacher learning with socialization processes in other professions. In assessing the call for breaks in experience in teacher education, comparisons of teaching with other professions ignore the extent to which teaching is a general human activity, and thus close to common sense. Not all that is learned through experience is without value, and neither are replacements for the lessons of experience necessarily available or teachable. (Author/JD) |
