Making waves in teacher education: scaffolding students’ disciplinary understandings by ‘doing’ analysis

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Contribution to book/anthology › Research › peer-review

Abstract

Undergraduate teacher-education programs, like all tertiary education, require students to be able to present accumulated curriculum knowledge in written academic texts for evaluation, ie exam papers. Supporting students in writing academic texts seems to be a universal need, an assumption supported by the presence of many learning and language centers found at many tertiary educational institutions. Teacher-education programs provide an unique opportunity to incorporate supporting students own written academic language development as this work can provide a lens for focusing on the kind of scaffolding work they themselves are expected to provide for their future students once they graduate as teachers.
