TEACHER EDUCATION IN LIFELONG LEARNING - ALISON...

This book promotes the idea that professionalism among teachers should be marked by democratic
relations  rather than by managerialism and performance management. It provides a thorough
investigation of issues around the participation of trainee teachers in the Lifelong Learning
Sector  by reflecting on their experiences and questioning how well initial teacher education
prepares teachers as professional practitioners in the sector. The reflexive nature of the book
promotes a deep discussion of the nature of professionalism  drawing upon the works of John
Dewey  Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu  and places initial teacher education in the
Lifelong Learning Sector firmly within the policy and ideological context of regulation  audit
and control. It also illuminates pertinent discussions around teacher agency through a
consideration of confidence  excellence  and routinised practices. Finally  the book takes us
'through the looking glass' to reveal the tensions within the teacher education curriculum as
it prepares trainee teachers for a ready-made world  whilst at the same time attempting to
encourage principles of social justice  inclusive practice and education as a democratic
endeavour. It will be compelling reading for students and researchers working in Education and
Sociology  particularly those with an interest in lifelong learning and teacher training.
