It is not teachers who are

blame


to


here - students at this stage

cannot be


expected to


possess the necessary clarity of aims


and


intentions that might


inspire confidence.


This is what they are


working towards and as tutors


teachers and students


themselves


accept this learning as


necessary the more likely it is to be ade-

quately provided for.

The visiting tutor
in the last extract

emphasises


negotiation but increasingly it is clear that this cannot

always be


achieved by


19
students .


Here the contact of Institute


tutors and visiting tutor with students and

teachers is critical.


b) Students as learners

The next extracts emphasise the role of the student teacher as both

learner and teacher. It is this dual role that influences the stud-

s part in the negotiation process for sometimes they are unclear

about their own needs



irritatingly changeable in their


requests and their apparent competence. In the first extract SSl
has just taken a class on her own unobserved by the teacher and is
now considering other possibilities. E8θ responds to her experience
by considering his own from the vantage point of increased experience.

Well as far as being in control of them goes,
I think I’m sort of relying on their goodwill
to put up with me really - I spoke to X (the
teacher) afterwards about whether I could


share a class with him and gradually try


to get over the idea of control and how the


class reacts


compared with how they


respond to hi




They’re used to him because


they’ve got


a relationship going - I think



be


easier that way if we try and


work together and then gently if we ease
ourselves into the teaching.
