"That's a Great Idea, but I Will Think about It Later": Early Childhood Preservice Teachers' Perceptions about Popular Culture in Teaching
Lee, Lena
Teacher Education and Practice, v25 n1 p87-99 Win 2012
This article examines how early childhood (K-3) preservice teachers perceive the use of popular culture in teaching. In particular, it focuses on possible reasons for their negative perceptions of using popular culture by discussing what they have experienced in teacher education and in early childhood classrooms. Moreover, it explores other variables, such as social views on popular culture and childhood and the contents of popular culture that have influenced the use of popular culture in their classrooms.
