The purpose of this study was to determine whether pre-service teachers described what happens in university courses primarily in terms of teacher characteristics, teaching practices, or instructional context. There were two research questions guiding the study. First, how are the dimensions of effective and ineffective instruction alike and different? Second, how do results correspond to similar qualitative studies? Nine distinct themes were inductively derived through open coding of 34 pre-service teachers’ essays: (a) motivation, (b) student autonomy, (c) meaningful learning, (d) comfortable learning environment, (e) classroom management, (f) student-teacher relationship, (g) teacher’s personal characteristics and manner, (h) lesson organization, and (i) teacher impact/student development. The results of this study support previous findings and add to the small number of studies that have examined pre-service teachers' descriptions of effective and ineffective instruction. Findings have also contributed a new category that has not appeared in previous literature: teacher impact/student development. Pre-service teachers’ descriptions in this study confirm that the theoretical conception of what happens in classrooms must include the teacher’s characteristics, teaching, and the context of instruction. \u0000Keywords: education theory and practice, educational psychology, higher education, teacher education, pre-service teacher beliefs, pre-service teacher conceptions, effective instruction, effective teaching. \u0000Les conceptions qu’ont les enseignants en formation de l’enseignement efficace et inefficace informent naturellement leurs points de vue personnels de ce qui constitue l’enseignement efficace et inefficace; pourtant, peu d’etudes qualitatives se sont penchees sur les conceptions de l’enseignement efficace ainsi que sur celles de l’enseignement inefficace. L’objectif de cette etude etait de determiner dans quelle mesure les enseignants en formation decrivent ce qui se passe dans les cours a l’universite, notamment en fonction des caracteristiques des enseignants, des pratiques d’enseignement ou du contexte pedagogique. Deux questions ont guide la recherche. D’abord, qu’est-ce que l’enseignement efficace et l’enseignement inefficace ont en commun et qu’est-ce qui les distingue? Deuxiemement, comment les resultats correspondent-ils a ceux d’etudes qualitatives similaires?

Books were identified from multiple sources with results compared to a previous study (Author 3), demonstrating a marginal increase of titles since 2015 where 120 books were identified, and a continued increase from 2005 where 57 books were identified. Of particular note in the current sample were the 13 books created by Indigenous authors and/or illustrators and presenting Canadian Indigenous content and perspectives, calculated at 9.8 % of the study sample, compared to previous results where books by Indigenous authors and/or illustrators comprised 3.5 % of the sample in 2005 and 10% in 2015. These findings, and other patterns, themes and possible trends, are suggested as underpinnings for future research involving further changes in the field of Canadian children’s literature in education as well as further research into reader response regarding contemporary titles.

A key contributing factor is a shortage of competent and confident qualified mathematics teachers. The Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) offered at South African universities is a key qualification designed to address this challenge (amongst others, such as the Bachelor of Education [B.Ed.]). However, the success of the PGCE as a preparation for mathematics teachers is not without concern, as this paper argues. Using a qualitative case study focusing on a PGCE with a mathematics focus offered by a university of technology, this paper discusses the constraints identified by prospective teachers and teacher educators. Constraints are explored by focusing on the curriculum, partnerships, and policy relating to the delivery of the PGCE as true and critical to the efficacy of the program. The paper contributes to context-specific understanding of the constraints influencing the PGCE’s efficacy (as offered in 2014) in developing newly qualified teachers’ (NQTs) skills and knowledge to be confident and competent mathematics teachers. \u0000Keywords: Post Graduate Certificate in Education; mathematics; learning to teach; governance; curriculum. \u0000  \u0000Les donnees d’une enquete internationale portant sur les acquis scolaires en mathematiques et en sciences (TIMSS) revelent que le rendement des apprenants sud-africains en mathematiques est loin d’etre optimal.

The teacher participants revealed that facilitating critical consciousness was a complex process influenced by pedagogical and institutional mechanisms. The pedagogical mechanism of coercive power and the institutional mechanism of compressed time both limited opportunities for student agency and constrained the development of critical consciousness. Two professors were successful in countering the negative consequences of these institutional and pedagogical mechanisms by enacting a legitimate form of power and facilitating dialogical learning contexts. These efforts are highlighted in the paper as key attributes of consciousness raising learning experiences among the preservice teachers. \u0000Keywords: preservice teachers, critical pedagogy, critical consciousness, Faculty of Education, course-based learning experiences \u0000Cette etude, qui repose sur une methodologie inspiree de la theorie a base empirique, explore la mesure dans laquelle la pedagogie critique a influence le developpement d’une conscience critique chez des enseignants en formation.

Both books were co-authored by The Right Honourable David Johnston (former Governor General of Canada) and Tom Jenkins as part of the Canada 150 sesquicentennial celebrations. The SSoE organized school teacher writing teams in summer 2017 and produced three cross-curricular Education for Innovation (E4I) resources (Early Learning; Grades 1-8; Grades 7-12) each of which included an Innovation Cycle model, sample key innovation learning experiences, and suggestions for culminating Innovation Celebrations. Teacher candidates from participating SSoE faculty classes also created curriculum-specific Innovation units which were subsequently revised by teacher teams and then implemented and reviewed by teachers from different educational contexts (e.g., public schools, private schools, homeschools). The E4I project collaboration involved university faculty, teachers, teacher candidates, and community partners. Based on participant survey data, researchers identified reported benefits and challenges relating to the overall developmental process. Findings indicate that the experiences of inquiring, ideating, incubating, and implementing the E4I resources closely reflected the phases found within the Innovation Cycle model.

The pedagogical activity Wandering With/In the University of Alberta animates how she attempted to mobilize these emerging understandings through course design. We then introduce the collective processes we carried out as co-authors (i.e., course instructor and three graduate students who completed the course): creating, analyzing, and representing data, as well as generating the knowledge claims offered throughout. Next, data fragments that weave photographs of and narrative writing about campus sites anchor exploration of three central themes: wandering in relation to (a) evolving understandings of self, (b) a situated and significant historical moment (i.e., Canada 150), and (c) the (imagined) classroom as a site of reconciliation.
