In section one the historical roots of teacher education are examined. The second section deals more directly with what a teacher is and how the definitional properties of "the teacher" begin to dictate a curriculum for teacher education. The impact of regulation and testing on teacher education is the focus of the third section. The final chapter describes the nature of the federal government's involvement with teacher education. The following papers were selected from papers prepared for the National Commission for Excellence in Teacher Education: (1) "An Evaluation of the Rationale for Required Teacher Education: Beginning Teachers with and without Teacher Preparation" (Martin Haberman); (2) "From Quantity to Quality Teacher Education in Britain" (Harry Judge); (3) "Recent Reports on Education: Some Implications for Preparing Teachers" (Edward J.

Few would doubt ti.at teaching today is dif- ferent from what it was even a decade ago. The new demands on students, the multiple needs of children, and the extreme pressures of classroom and daily life in some social settings make the teacher's life one filled with constant decision-making. Such decision-making was evident when Phil- lip Jackson wrote Life in Classrooms; it is even more manifest in the time of Horaces Compromise. The climate of teaching and teacher edu- cation has changed, and those changes are making severe demands on school social systems that were formed in different times. Teacher education is intended to improve the teacher's decision- making ability. How this is accomplished is the object of substantial debate, which has been stirred and has become even more heatedas a result of the increased involvement of legislators and politicians in edu- cational policymaking. Regrettably, noneducators seeking to improve edu- cation usually proffer simple answers: test prospective teachers more, attract better quality students, expand teacher education, or eliminate teacher education. And because teacher educators are so dependentupon the resources

  • Rebuilding the Universities After the Great War: Ex‐Service Students
    Rebuilding the Universities after the Great War: Ex-Service Students, Scholarships and the Reconstruction of Student Life in England GEORGINA BREWIS University College London SARAH HELLAWELL University of Sunderland DANIEL LAQUA Northumbria University Abstract This article examines a transformative moment in the history of British higher education. After the First World War, student numbers were boosted by the arrival of large numbers of ex-servicemen. Their access to university was facilitated by the government-funded Scheme for the Higher Education of Ex-Service Students, which provided grants to nearly 28,000 students between 1918 and 1923. The article offers the first sustained historical analysis of the workings and impact of this programme, which constituted a major development in state support for individual students. Our study contextualizes these measures by showing how the war was memorialized at universities and by tracing the changing nature of student life – covering themes such as gender relations and the activities of student societies. Material from case-study institutions in London and the North East of England is used to add specific depth to discussions of the national picture. As a whole, the article makes an original contribution to the wider literature on the First World War’s impact on British society. I The impact of the Great War was felt strongly at British and Irish universities. As the student periodical of University College London declared in 1919, ‘A shadow was thrown over the whole earth, and nowhere did it fall more darkly than on the universities.’1 Student numbers We gratefully acknowledge the support from the AHRC World War One Engagement Centre at the University of Hertfordshire, especially Sarah Lloyd and Anna Hammerin.

DESCRIPTORS *Advisory Committees; Comparative Analysis; Decision Making; *Educational Policy; Educational Research; Elementary Secondary Education; Foreign Countries; Higher Education; Needs Assessment; *Policy Formation; Position Papers; *Research Committees IDENTIFIERS *Blue Ribbon Commissions; Political Legitimacy; *United Kingdom; United States ABSTRACT Using examples from the United States (U.S.) and the United Kingdom (U.K.), the authors investigate the use of special or expert commissions in government policy-making in education. They analyze such commissions' impacts, the criticisms made of them, their role in political legitimation, and some alternative instruments for policy formation. After a brief introduction the paper presents past and present opinions in the U.S. and the U,K. on commissions (chiefly noneducational ones) and their utility. The authors then look in detail at the role of three U.S. and five U.K. educational commissions of the 1960's and 1970's, examining their reports and the results of their recommendations.

The seminars represented the first activity of the new Centre for Comparative Studies in Education installed at the Department of Educational Studies of the University of Oxford in January 1990. The Centre's principal objective is to collect and analyze data on education in other countries in order to make comparisons with the United Kingdom that might inform policy discussions. The present collection seeks to make a contribution to two important questions in the study of comparative education: What lessons can be learned from cross-national studies of issues in education? and What. problems of comparative method do such studies have to address?
