Signs of the Times: Understanding Ideas of "Emancipation" in Recent Teacher Education Texts.

Stronach, Ian

Scottish Educational Review, v24 n1 p57-63 May 1992

Reviews of three recent Scottish teacher education texts analyze the political and pedagogical philosophies of teacher education presented in each. A commonality among the texts is a portrayal of the teacher as a "hero" fighting for emancipation, empowerment, and transformation. Also discussed are each narrative's views of the past, present, and future of teaching. (KS)
