The Role of the Practical Teacher in Vocational Student Teacher Training and Education

Rosaline Mary Schaug and Karin Herudslokken

 In developing the students teachers’ vocational pedagogical

competence the practice teacher has a central role
 According to Hiim & Hippe (2001) practical and theoretical vocational
knowledge is an insoluble whole (p. 91) and there is little advantage
to seeing them separately.
 Reflective practice is an important tool in practice-based professional
learning Schön (2001) Kolb (2012), and can contribute to show how
student teachers can best develop their competence through
reflection and experience.
 Theories by Lave & Wenger, (2003) can contribute to our
understanding of how teachers work together and share practices,
along with theories from Dreyfus and Dreyfus, (1986) on
competence developmentment.
 This indicates that schools offering pedagogical practice for student
teachers have an important role other than just offering a placement
as part of the students’ overall professional education.
