Decontextualizing Teachers' Knowledge: Finnish Didactics and Teacher Education Curricula during the 1980s and 1990s.

Simola, Hannu

Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v42 n4 p325-38 Dec 1998

Analyzes didactics as the hard core of Finnish pedagogic discourse and relates changes in the state educational discourse in Finland to recent developments in department-level curricula in teacher education at Finnish universities in the 1980s and 1990s. The tendency in Finland has been toward a decontextualized and nonhistorical science of teaching. (Author/SLD)
