While the research on teacher education continues to proliferate,
Practice Makes Practice remains the discipline's indispensable
classic text. Drawing upon critical ethnography, this new edition
of this best-selling book asks the question, what does learning to
teach do and mean to newcomers and to those who surround them?
Deborah P. Britzman writes poignantly of the struggle for
significance and the contradictory realities of secondary teaching.
She offers a theory of difficulty in learning and explores why the
blaming of individuals is so prevalent in education.
The completely revised introduction presents a refined and
further developed theoretical framework and analysis that Britzman
provided in the original edition, discussing why we might return to
a study of teaching and learning. Also included in this updated
edition, is an insightful "hidden chapter" that comments on the
methodology of the study and some of the dilemmas the author
continues to face as her own thinking develops around the issues of
representing teaching and learning for those just entering the
profession.
