and undesirability of change.

Although some tutors said they would be in favour
of students spending more time in schools in properly
supervised and structured conditions, there was
general agreement that such conditions were not
usually available in schools. (Ch 9  P196)

This attitude is as infIuential in the


organisation and

courses as it is in the organisation


of the research


itself where


the PGCE is seen as clearly divided into school and


department


based


components which refer to the physical location of

that part of the


course .


Thus ’school-based' refers to the school experience which

consists essentially of teaching practice. The separation of work

in school fro`



that in the university suggests an underlying uniform-


ity of PGCE structures in the univeristy that militates against overall

course integration and coherence. This factor is likely to affect
the nature of the pedagogy as well as the content of the curriculum.

Subject Method Work

Noting


the degree of separation, an examination of the university-

based


components reveals the

The range of method courses is wide although the

Tables 5-І and 5-3 show only 3% following a politics course and that
in second method, Environmental Studies have less than 1% in main
and Humanities .5% in main method and .8% in second subject. The

content of method courses when related to student experience in school

is surprising.


Not only do approximately half the students claim
