book
posted on 2023-06-08, 13:51 authored by Hannele Niemi, Judith Harford, Brian Hudson
Ensuring quality in and through teaching and learning has become a fundamental global concern. Emanating from a colloquium on "Quality Assurance and Teacher Education" hosted by University College Dublin in 2010 and funded by the European Educational Research Association, this book interrogates how quality cultures can be fostered in the field of education. The volume brings together a series of background and case study chapters from leading scholars in the field of teacher education internationally. Contents include: (1) Introduction: From Quality Assurance to Quality Culture (Hannele Niemi, Judith Harford, and Brian Hudson); (2) Professionalism, Performativity and Care: Whither Teacher Education for a Gendered Profession in Europe? (Sheelagh Drudy); (3) Quality in Teachers' Professional Career-Long Development (Kay Livingston); (4) Communicative Evaluation for Improvement in Education (Hannele Niemi and Stephen Kemmis); (5) Contemporary Challenges for Quality Assurance in Teacher Education: The Swedish Example--Do Central Inspections Impede Local Quality Cultures? (Bjorn Astrand); (6) A Systems Approach to Teacher Quality in Singapore (Sylvia Chong and Pauline Ho); (7) Quality Assurance in Teacher Education: An American Perspective (Linda Darling-Hammond); (8) Evaluation for Improvements in Finnish Teacher Education (Hannele Niemi and Jari Lavonen); (9) Quality Assurance in Slovenian Teacher Education: Between National Regulation and Internationalization (Janja Komljenovic and Pavel Zgaga); (10) Quality Assurance in Teacher Education in Ireland within an International Context (John Coolahan); (11) Shifting Models of School Evaluation in the Republic of Ireland (Judith Harford and Gerry MacRuairc); and (12) Quality Assurance Systems and Teacher Education Reform for the Twenty-First Century in Scotland (Brian Hudson and Teresa Moran).
