ɪ think we had some new areas because we

had 3 English students (in School B) and
we worked very well together and I don’t
know if there was a big sense of an alter-

were very


interested in the


arguments we


were getting from School B and the arguments
at the Institute were giving and feeling
(here he refers to work in the English
Department) In one sense these were

practical and the Institute were theoretical

and to marry them and that was the difficult

part to see how useful the theory and the

talk of education at the Institute becomes

thinking


together and that’s always important

to have


somebody


to go out and just discuss


about exactly how you feel.

Students here


are taking responsibility for

their own learning within

the formal settings provided by


the course


and in the more informal


ones


that it generates and the


latter may


continue beyond the PGCE


given


Work with the Research


Group showed that the


school group


its physical base can continue the work of the


course quite


outside what


may be seen as its normal contact time.


The structure


of the group


in enabling specialist concerns considered


in the Insti-


tute to have


an active base physically nearer to practice is quite

crucial in the above extract.

Often, as was seen in the Research
