ProfessorDepartment of Education, School of Arts and Education30 Southgate Rd., Potters Bar Herts, EnglandE-mail: g.hilton@mdx.ac.ukDaug metų Anglijoje egzistavo įvairūs būdai rengti specialistus darbui mokykloje, bet dauguma mokytojų buvo parengiama organizuojant pobakalaurinius pedagoginius kursus. Du trečdaliai visų šių studijų, skirtų vidurinės mokyklos mokytojo profesiniam pažymėjimui įgyti (būsimiems pradinės mokyklos mokytojams gerokai mažiau), vyksta mokyklose, po to kai universitete išklausomi ugdymo teorijos pagrindai, mokymo ir mokymosi, klasės valdymo ir kiti pedagogo profesijai svarbūs dalykai. Ši studijų programa yra įgyvendinama kartu su partnerinėmis mokyklomis, kuriose parengti mentoriai prižiūri, kaip vyksta praktinis studijuotų teorinių dalykų pritaikymas mokyklose. Šiuo metu valstybės sekretorius, kuruojantis švietimo reikalus, teikia siūlymus perkelti visą mokytojų rengimą iš universitetų į mokyklas ir perduoti visą mokytojų rengimo kontrolę mokykloms. Toks siūlymas remiasi nuostata, kad mokymas – tai „amatas“, o ne akademinė disciplina. Dauguma pedagogų praktikų pasisako prieš tokią idėją ir pameistrystės modelį rengiant mokytojus, bet ar jie bus išgirsti?
Highlights
Olssen et al (2004: 2-3) state:“There was a time when educational policy as policy was taken for granted ...Clearly this is no longer the case
To produce a professional teacher takes time and can only be achieved if that professionalism is founded on a good understanding of educational theory, not merely subject knowledge, and from the prospective teacher can learn how to apply that theory in practice situations
Many teachers and teacher educators in England believe that the proposed policy changes are ‘based on a simplistic and narrow view of the role of the school and teaching resulting from politicians’ memories of their experiences in what was almost certainly an elitist school experience’ (Evans et al, 2011)
Summary
In England the ways to train for the profession of teaching have been varied, but most teachers have been prepared through the Postgraduate Certificate in Education Course The majority of this course takes place in school (two thirds of the time for secondary trainees, rather less for primary). In their time in university, students are given grounding in education theory, teaching and learning, classroom control and other essential aspects such as teacher professionalism. Proposals by the Secretary of State for Education are attempting to virtually remove teacher education from universities by giving it into the control of schools, based on the belief that teaching is merely a ‘craft’ and not an academic discipline.
