The research presented suggests the possibility within the school
groups of students ".....experiencing jointly with others the possi-
bility that we could develop” (I98θ P15). Alongside the learning
of students has to be set the learning of tutors and this is essential
in their work with students as individuals or in their groups.

In the following section the students’ own past experience will be

dealt with but here the emphasis


is upon encounters which are a part


of the PGCE year itself.


Along with the structure of the PGCE, its


pedagogy


content


and forms of


assessment there is all the variety


of the school experience. But within the training institution the

idea of students being defined


as active learners requires further


comment. Students often referred to experiences where they felt
that they were learning, for example, when they were put into the
situation of learners both as failures or successes. Or again when
through participation in writing or through close consideration of

concrete examples often with experienced practitioners they became

aware of sorting something out for themselves. Here what is stressed

are


intuitive


moves


towards a position that


feels’ right or away


from one that


feels


wrong and it is often fro:


Il


tentative moves and


explorations that more fully fledged commitments and positions will
occur. If such learning is admitted as basic in professional develop-
ment then the training institution can seek to provide for it within

its own courses. As with the tutorial relationship referred to above

provision is only one


aspect which may be critical but without the

space to reflect and question


understand and integrate it remains

outside the articulate awareness of the practitioner.
