Abstract:
In 1992, a Federal discussion paper generated widespread concern among some academics that the Australian Government might attempt to introduce the England and Wales model of school-based teacher education. So far that has not occurred. An increasing number of universities in Australia, however, are establishing their own school-based programs. Edith Cowan University in Western Australia provides one such example, called SBS (School Based Semester). In principle, many students regard SBS very highly. In practice most refuse to join it. This article examines the reasons for this anomaly and some of the issues it raises for school-based teacher education more generally.Document Type: Research article
