When you say ’they’ do you mean the Institute?
Well
the
maths
department
here have had to
give a report on us and see us teaching to
a class sometimes.
Hums
But do they do any class teaching here?
Ml
Well not
IV and V year but it ’ s
a method of teaching maths (class teaching)
which in this school is just dying out because
it doesn’t seem to be any good .....
As was seen
in the Research Group this is
less a conflict between
school and Institute than a confusion about what
is appropriate for
the student teacher and what therefore are the roles of the tutors
and teachers the students work with.
If it is felt by any of them
that there are specific requirements for students which exist despite
the appropriateness of the school setting for their fulfilment then
the students are caught in a false situation which gives a sense
of unreality to the enterprise. The resulting confusion is the theme
of the next extracts which show students discussing the issues of
♦
different kinds of practical experiences that they are beginning
to develop.
