Exploring connections between the in-field and on-campus components of a preservice teacher education program: A student perspective
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-17, 03:54 authored by Allen, JM, Peach, DThis paper discusses the preservice teacher education practicum experience from the perspective of preservice teachers at a regional Australian university. It locates the practicum in the broader context of work integrated learning and associated principles of good practice. The paper argues that there are some perceived disconnections between the infield and on–campus components of the teacher education program as well as an endorsement of some aspects of the practicum experience in closing the theory-practice gap. Our research adds to international debate about the balance between theory and practice and contributes a much needed student perspective on these issues. The paper concludes with suggestions on ways to improve the quality of the practicum experience. (Asia-Pacific Journal of Cooperative Education, 2007, 8(1), 23-36).
