What do teachers learn 'on the job'? And how, if at all, do they
learn from 'experience'? Leading researchers from the UK, Europe,
the USA and Canada offer international, research-based perspectives
on a central problem in policy-making and professional practice -
the role that experience plays in learning to teach in schools.
Experience is often weakly conceptualized in both policy and
research, sometimes simply used as a proxy for 'time', in weeks and
years, spent in a school classroom. The conceptualization of
experience in a range of educational research traditions lies at
the heart of this book, exemplified in a variety of empirical and
theoretical studies. Distinctive perspectives to inform these
studies include sociocultural psychology, the philosophy of
education, school effectiveness, the sociology of education,
critical pedagogy, activism and action research. However, no one
theoretical perspective can claim privileged insight into what and
how teachers learn from experience; rather, this is a matter for a
truly educational investigation, one that is both close to practice
and seeks to develop theory. At a time when policy-makers in many
countries seek to make teacher education an entirely school-based
activity, Learning Teaching from Experience offers an essential
examination of the evidence-base, the traditions of inquiry - and
the limits of those inquiries.
