Abstract
ABSTRACT This article explores contested possible meanings of the term ‘impact’ used in recent initial teacher education review body and accreditation documentation in Australia. It proposes a model of program design that explicitly evidences graduate capabilities to generate effective teaching and learning in school classrooms. It argues that we cannot expect to recognise, generate, and evidence positive classroom impact unless pre-service teachers are equipped with the pedagogical content knowledge and habitus to look beyond teaching inputs to student outcomes. The article further argues for learning experiences in initial teacher education programs that forge teacher identities that develop pre-service teachers’ and supervising teachers’ awareness of impact consciousness. It draws upon assessment literature and examination of individual practice within a design-based research framework to propose a diagrammatic model of impact. The article presents programmatic assessment as a fresh lens to consider a program model that incrementally develops and evidences increasing levels of pre-service teacher impact consciousness.
期刊介绍:
Teaching Education is an interdisciplinary forum for innovative practices and research in teacher education. Submission of manuscripts from educational researchers, teacher educators and practicing teachers is encouraged. Contributions are invited which address social and cultural, practical and theoretical aspects of teacher education in university-, college-, and school-based contexts. The journal’s focus is on the challenges and possibilities of rapid social and cultural change for teacher education and, more broadly, for the transformation of education. These challenges include: the impact of new cultures and globalisation on curriculum and pedagogy; new collaborations and partnerships between universities, schools and other social service agencies; the consequences of new community and family configurations for teachers’ work; generational and cultural change in schools and teacher education institutions; new technologies and education; and the impact of higher education policy and funding on teacher education. Manuscripts addressing critical and theory-based research or scholarly reflections and debate on contemporary issues related to teacher education, will be considered. Papers should attempt to present research, innovative theoretical and/or practical insights in relevant current literature and debate.
