A SOCIOCULTURAL PERSPECTIVE TO LEARNING A CLINICAL PEDAGOGY IN AND OF TEACHER EDUCATION

Abstract

Those who teach teachers must develop a pedagogy of teacher education to teach about teaching effectively. In the same ways that we teach about teaching by unearthing the pedagogical moves and decision-making, identities, and stances that inform our teaching pedagogy, we must do the same with teaching about teacher education. Thus, in this chapter, we reflect on how we learned our clinical pedagogies and unpack our experiences using a Vygotskian sociocultural theoretical perspective of teacher education to provide readers the opportunity to consider their programs and structures for teaching a clinical pedagogy in teacher education.
