商品描述

This edited volume focuses on Curriculum scholars' critical reflections on teacher education (TE) within South Africa to offer insights into critical considerations for the socio-economic, transformational, social and environmental justice and decolonization challenges that the country faces. Much of the literature on teacher education takes on a policy and practice focus to the exclusion of deep and fundamental curriculum questions on what is teacher education for, for whom, where and who decides. Within South Africa, the Minimum Requirements for Teacher Education Qualification (MRTEQ) forms the official policy that informs teacher education curriculum and certification to become a teacher. This volume raises critical and complicated questions for teacher educators and curriculum scholars to inspire a deeper understanding of teacher education beyond a set of parochial policy prescribed modules/courses that one needs to take to become a professional teacher.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本編輯的專書聚焦於南非課程學者對教師教育(TE)的批判性反思,以提供對該國面臨的社會經濟、轉型、社會和環境正義以及去殖民化挑戰的重要考量。大部分有關教師教育的文獻都著重於政策和實踐,忽略了對於教師教育的深入和基本課程問題的探討,例如教師教育的目的是什麼,為誰而設,何處進行,以及由誰決定。在南非,教師教育資格的最低要求(MRTEQ)是指導教師教育課程和認證的官方政策。這本專書提出了對教師教育者和課程學者的重要且複雜的問題,以激發對教師教育的更深入理解,超越一套被政策指定的局部課程模組/課程,這些模組/課程是成為專業教師所需的。
