Abbott, Ian

School Science Review, v81 n295 p73-77 Dec 1999

Outlines the fundamental changes in initial teacher education in England and Wales in recent years, with particular reference to the Post Graduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). Finds that a large proportion of secondary science teacher trainees had little or no knowledge of or experience with General National Vocational Qualifications (GNVQ) courses. Discusses science teachers' future training needs. (Contains 12 references.) (Author/WRM)
