Teacher education has undergone numerous reviews in many countries
in recent decades. These reviews have suggested changes to the
structure, content and approaches in teacher education. However,
little change seems to occur as a result of these reviews. Chapter
one examines why it is that these reviews have not met with
success, and, focusing in particular on the most recent teacher
education review in Australia, investigates whether its call for
change is feasible or whether it will suffer the same fate as
earlier reviews. The following chapter draws on theoretical
frameworks relating to the studies surrounding teaching knowledge,
the importance of knowledge in curricula, and the use of
recontextualisation processes to gain a better understanding of the
uses of teaching knowledge in the training of teacher of
occupational courses. Chapter three demonstrates how the notion of
Technology Enabled Mathematics Pedagogy (TEMP) can be used as a
sociocultural learning framework of modern day mathematics teacher
education programs. Chapter four discusses facilitating students'
understanding of science through teacher education. The last
chapter provides a study of rural teachers in Northwestern China
and examines different perspectives of online professional
development.
