Student Teaching

This work is a practical guide for university supervisors that examines the supervisory process, the preparation necessary for supervision, the responsibilities of the university supervisor, the historical assumption underlying the supervisory role, and what research tells us about effective supervision. It provides background information on topics such as discipline in the schools and curricular concerns, and summarizes research about what the supervisor needs to know on the philosophical, psychological, and sociological foundations of education.

This book focuses on pupils' perceptions of their learning with trainee teachers to raise trainee awareness of their importance and provide a useful link between theory, research and practice.
