ABSTRACT

It is widely agreed that teacher education must consist of two general components. There is a knowledge component which contains specialized subject matter knowledge, and a practical component in which intending teachers develop skills and abilities. In this original and compelling work, first published in 1989, Pearson attempts to examine the connection between the two. This title will be of interest to students of education.
