Lee S. Shulman

Truth and its consequences in teacher education form a web of interconnected relationships that align our attentions with our intentions. This article responds to an essay I wrote twenty years ago, and I examine the assumptions, questions, and possibilities in the frame of a more modern context. While many of the ideas remain salient, an examination of the truths I explained and the consequences I examined have shed new light on what truths and consequences for teacher education have unfolded in the last two decades.

We explore our efforts to create a conceptual framework to describe and analyse the challenges around preparing teachers to create, sustain, and educate in a “community of learners.” In particular, we offer a new frame for conceptualizing teacher learning and development within communities and contexts. This conception allows us to understand the variety of ways in which teachers respond in the process of learning to teach in the manner described by the “Fostering a Community of Learners” (FCL) programme. The model illustrates the ongoing interaction among individual student and teacher learning, institutional or programme learning, and the characteristics of the policy environment critical to the success of theory-intensive reform efforts such as FCL.

Education research in learning and teaching has alternated historically between periods in which subject matter disciplines were used as the organizing framework for investigation and implementation, and other periods in which the content areas nearly disappeared in favour of a quest for generic principles of instruction that could transcend disciplinary boundaries. There are few examinations of how these factors interact in the context of specific classroom‐ and pedagogy‐centred school reform. The papers that follow in this issue of JCS examine this issue through the lens of the pedagogic reform, ‘Fostering a Community of Learners’. This introduction outlines the key characteristics of this reform and describes the main issues in subsequent examinations of teachers learning to implement ‘Fostering a Community of Learners’ in science, social studies, English language arts, and mathematics.

Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology

The problems of teaching have now become a domain of active, systematic research by psychologists, anthropologists, linguists, sociologists, educational practitioners, and disciplinary specialists. What did not exist 30 years ago has become a vigorous and active field of research. Our theories of teaching demand principles of both exposition and discussion. Most of the pedagogies emerging from the seminal research on student concept learning reveal that some form of dialogue, exchange, conversation, or alternating argument—some kind of social manifestation of the understanding—is central. Therein lies the enormous pedagogical complexity that derives from this work. That complexity is the reason why, even though we know discussion is necessary, the dominant form of pedagogy is the lecture. Lecture is relatively simple, and it reduces much of the technical and economical complexities of teaching. This paper centers on pedagogies for externalizing students' knowledge and then encouraging them to reconstruct the information and internalize and represent these new understandings.

In "The Relation of Theory to Practice in Education," John Dewey compares professional education for teachers to the education of other professionals, especially physicians. He distinguishes between 2 general approaches, the apprenticeship and the laboratory, generally favoring the latter. This article proposes 6 commonplaces characteristic of all forms of professional education and critically examines Dewey's views of teacher education through those commonplaces. Proposals are offered for conceptualizing the education of teachers in general and the connections between theory and practice in particular.

... Enhancing continuing professional learning of teachers has a momentous influence on teacher quality to refresh, develop and broaden their knowledge, improve student learning, and boost education quality (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD], 2020). Therefore, teachers' dedication to and motivation to engage in fruitful professional growth are critical (Shulman & Shulman, 2009), as it results in positive outcomes for their continuous professional development engagement (Alghamdi, 2019;Schieb & Karabenick, 2011). Likewise, teachers must commit their time and intellectual resources to cultivate meaningful practices and deepen their professional expertise (Smith, 2017). ...

... Private interaction with the learning and conceptual materials is expected to promote learning by provoking cognitive restructuring (Shulman and Ringstaff, 1986).
