Coherence in European Teacher Education

This article examines how disciplinary coherence is (co)constructed at the student-oriented level in pedagogical studies at the University of Turku. Based on group discussion data, we analyze how coherence is (co)constructed in planning a mutual multidisciplinary learning module on the topic of sustainable development. The focus is on how students talk about their own discipline and its specific nature in relation to other disciplines and the multidisciplinary modules. From the perspective of (co)constructing coherence in relation to multidisciplinary modules, three different types of coherence building discourses were identified from the data. It was interesting how, on the one hand, one’s own discipline and subject boundaries seem to be valued, and on the other, how this subject-orientation is questioned and seen as problematic. Based on our findings, we discuss how the participants’ discourses of multidisciplinarity relate to the conceptualization of different dimensions of disciplinary coherence (i.e., inter-, multi- and transdisciplinary) and what this means for the development of teacher education.

Even though effective teaching is required when doctoral students assume positions in higher education, few doctoral programs have courses or formalized experiences designed around pedagogy for undergraduate and graduate students. The lack of pedagogical emphasis is especially concerning for newly minted doctoral students who will be preparing future special educators to teach students with disabilities in K-12 settings. In this article, the Continuum of Teaching Experiences (CTE) Model for preparing doctoral students to teach in higher education is described. This university teaching model depicts practice opportunities that promote pedagogical learning and prepare doctoral students for independent instruction of higher education courses. The CTE model scaffolds opportunities that provide doctoral students with varied entry points across a continuum of possibilities. Additionally, the CTE model is highly adaptable across multiple doctoral preparation programs, emphasizing a malleable framework that can be refined for variable programmatic needs.

This study aimed to investigate the perceptions of EFL pre -service teachers (PTs) towards the advantages and disadvantages of their peer team teaching(PTT) experiences. The sample consisted of 52 participants, with equal numbers of males and females, from the English Language Department of the College of Education at Seiyun University. Qualitative and quantitative techniques were employed to gather the data, including reflective reports and a questionnaire.These findings prove that PTT has numerous benefits for PTs. The five most common advantages included increasing confidence, correcting the mistakes of one another, preparing a better lesson plan, exchanging experiences, skills, and knowledge, and overcoming challenging situations in teaching. On the other hand, some PTs held negative opinions towards PTT. The five most significant disadvantages included disagreement among team members, reliance of some members on other members to do the work on their behalf, not following the lesson plan, late completion of the work due to disagreement among the team members, and unequal division of work among the members. The findings revealed that PTs’ perceptions of PTT’s advantages and disadvantages did not differ significantly based on gender. The researcher recommends that EFL PTs implement PTT during their preparation stage, as it has many benefits for PTs’ professional development.
