Diferentiation of PGCE Population

Examination of


the factors along


which the departmental populations


were differentiated


reveals that a seemingly straightforward notion


such as


commitment


to teaching


may mean something different both


on entry


to and on completion of the course.


Here the analysis


was made on Sussex and Kings. ’The two universities most different

from each other in our original paradigm.' (Ch 4, P77)

The research showed that the courses existed within different traditions
of teacher education with Kings’ students recruited from, experiencing
what teaching practice is and finally obtaining teaching posts in
the independent and direct grant system in significant numbers,
this led the research to conclude that "the differences are in fact

means something rather dif-


so large that 'commitment to teaching

ferent in the two contexts". (Ch 4, P77 1973)

The


of commitment


they suggest


are differentiated according


to their specificity.

The first
career in


more obvious form


commitment was to


sions. for


teaching (a subject) and schools, which was
many ways to commitment in the older profes-
examnle. medicine and law. The second, less


obvious form of commitment was to education in its broadest

form and to a set of ideals which might be realised
through education (Ch 4, P86  1973)

Further they state that ’the implications of their findings are far-
reaching for the design of postgraduate certificate courses'. Whether
or not one shares their view that PGCE courses should most appropri-

ately be seen as


’ dual


or


Il


ulti-purpose


qualifications


professional


educators certainly need to be aware of the finding
