Tóm tắt: | In this provocative book, David McNamara argues that a '̀teacher-centred' approch to teaching in the primary school, especially in the later years is actually in the best interests of the children -- that the teacher must be seen to have ultimate responsibility for what and how children learn. He attempts to define the distinctive professional expertise of the primary teacher -- the application of subject knowledge within the special circumstances of the classroom -- and to show how this expertise can be articulated to establish a body of educational knowledge which is both derived from practice and practically useful to others. At a time when increasing emphasis is being placed on the role of the practising teacher as a mentor in intitial teacher education, this book will help teachers at all levels to define their own role in the creation of educational knowledge. -- Provided by publisher. |
