Pre-Service Teacher Education and Induction in Southwest China

Zusatztext

This book is a narrative inquiry that focuses on four participating Chinese teacher candidates cross-cultural learning in Canada and stories of induction in Southwest China. Through the lens of three-dimensional inquiry space and reciprocal learning in teacher education, the author explores the influence of cross-cultural experiences on the dissonance of pedagogies, teacher-student relationships, socialization, and beliefs about teaching and learning that interweave global and national curriculum boundaries. The chapters provide insight into how Chinese beginning teachers struggle to voice and to socialize among a cacophony of past practices, lived experiences, and cross-cultural experiences.
