Synopsis

Building on John Loughran’s latest work Developing a Pedagogy of Teacher Education, this book focuses on how individuals enact pedagogy in the context of teacher education. With teacher educators actually teaching while showing student-teachers how to teach, the quality of teacher education improves.

Bringing together contributions from internationally known teacher educators, a school administrator who supports teachers’ professional learning, someone studying to become a teacher educator and someone studying to become a teacher, the book examines enacting educational and pedagogical values in personal practice and developing the interpersonal relationships that are so essential to quality teaching and learning.

Each chapter illustrates an individual working to better understand the processes of teaching and learning and then modifying personal practices to enact a productive pedagogy of teacher education. This collection extends the rich literature emerging from the field while also focusing explicit attention on the challenges of enacting a pedagogy of teacher education.

About this title

Review:

'This book provides research grounded insights into the gamut of international management education teaching approaches and models. It enables instructors to understand alternative topics and structures in a way that will be sure to enrich their pedagogy.' Charles Wankel, Professor of Management, St John's University, USA 'This book is long overdue. There can often be a disconnect in academic management education and 'real world' issues facing companies, particulary SMEs and startups, in today's rapidly changing business environments. The invaluable wide ranging, global perspectives contained in the book will enlighten international management education practicioners everywhere.' Oggy East, Director, Semantise Ltd 'This fresh and impressive book brings us back to a simple and crucial global truth: education is essential for management. Vital concepts such as shareholder value, sustainability and CSR require managerial teaching and training. This work brilliantly shows the state-of-the art of international management education and the need to reconsider its fundamentals, as well as providing suggestions for future directions.' Prof. Stefano Zambon, Chair of Business Economics, University of Ferrara 'As business becomes increasingly global, the scope and quality of international management education becomes increasingly important. This outstanding collection of twenty-seven papers by top-notch scholars and practitioners provides a superb in-depth view of how the field is evolving. The book is crammed full of insights dealing with the essentials of international management education, its practice in many different parts of the world and the role of information technology (including mobile learning and social media) in changing how it is disseminated. There is also an excellent discussion of international business research, from its origin to the present and its likely future themes.' Bernard M. Wolf, Professor Emeritus of Economics and International Business, York University, Canada
