5 Practice quality in teacher education Summary in English A study of students school adoption practice at Nesna university college by Kåre Johnsen - Assistant Professor Studies in Norway and some other western countries show that teachers are less satisfied with their education, particularly in view of claims and challenges they meet in schools after finishing their education. These findings have created a need for alternative thinking about teacher education in general and the part of the education linked to training in schools and the interaction between theoretical studies and practice in particular. School adoption implies that a group of teacher students undertake the total responsibility for planning and implementation of teaching at an elementary/secondary school (6 – 16 years). The school adoption is for a limited period (1 – 3 weeks), and a written agreement is made between the local school authorities, the single schools and the teacher education institution. This is an alternative to the traditional training situation, where the students are under control of an experienced teacher and follow his class and pupils, and it is a training situation which is more close to the real situations students meet when they start working after finishing their education. Our experiences with school adoption practice have opened new perspectives on training in teacher education and have inspired students and other participants within the educational system. The first chapter of this study is a historic review on teacher education training in Norway with focus on central ideas. Chapter 2 has a focus on the theoretical base of the study, where theories of teaching professions and assessment of quality is discussed. In teacher education two different theories of teaching professions must be taken into account in a complementary understanding: The apprenticeship learning theory and the action and reflection theory.

The investigation plan and methods of data presentation is described in chapter 3, where the 6 investigation includes answers from students, teachers, pupils and parents on a questionnaire concerning their experiences with student adoption at the local school. Main focus is however on the experiences of the teacher students. Chapter 4 consists of an analysis of the results, and an assessment of the results is presented in chapter 5. Short summary and evaluation of results Students learning outcome: • Real responsibility: ”We have experienced social responsibility, we have had freedom to plan our own work in a real setting.” • Self development: “This practice taught me much about myself, it taught me to believe in myself, my own possibilities and own decisions.” • Cooperation learning: “The close cooperation with student colleges taught me much, we discussed problems as soon as they appeared, we helped each other the best we could.” • Creative development:” Everything didn’t come out the way we had planned, but we learned to solve such challenges, we learned to improvise.” • Experience the school reality: ” We learned how to handle pupils with different needs and behaviour, traditional student training (following the class and pupils of an experienced teacher) is fragmentary.” • Comment: School adoption practice compared with traditional student training: 67% said that their own learning outcome was better with school adoption. Teachers experiences: • “Our pupils liked to have student teachers, many new things happened that created change and joy, and we have learned a lot from the students ways of teaching.” • “The students have followed up our plans and agreements.” Some few teachers stressed however that progression in subject matter had stopped. Pupils experiences: • Most pupils (96%) said they enjoyed having students as teachers. • Many (83 %) said their learning outcome was corresponding to having their permanent teachers. • Many pupils appreciated new methods an ways of teaching Parents experiences (through observation of their children): Fredrikke nr. 8, 2005 Organ for FoU-publikasjoner - Høgskolen i Nesna
