In the UK and elsewhere, the training of teachers is increasingly
seen as a matter of partnership between schools and institutions of
higher education. There is thus an urgent need within the
profession to define more carefully what the role of teachers
acting as mentors should be. Clearly some aspects of professional
knowledge can only be acquired from practical experience in school,
and this book draws on extensive research on students' school-based
learning to isolate and analyze those aspects. Like any form of
teaching, mentoring, the authors suggest, must be built on a clear
understanding of the learning processes it is intended to support.
In this book, they report on their research into the nature of
students' school-based learning and what this means for the role of
the mentoring. Previous publications from John Furlong include
"Deviant Pupils" (Open University Press, 1985) and "Initial Teacher
Training and the Role of the Pupil" (Open University Press, 1988).
