Student Teaching as Initiation into the Teaching Profession.

Head, Fay A.

Anthropology and Education Quarterly, v23 n2 p89-107 Jun 1992

Results from an ethnographic study of 19 secondary school science and social studies student teachers suggest that application of the concepts of initiation and rites of passage has the potential to improve teacher education. Student teaching, as traditionally organized, has not served a transformational function in participant lives. (SLD)
