"Dimensions and Emerging Themes in Teaching Practicum offers comprehensive coverage of theoretical and international developments in the ways that the traditional ‘teaching practice’ is being transformed in differing contexts. The editors provide a clear overview of recent research into the practicum to set up valuable discussions of changes in a number of countries. These discussions are grounded in a critical perspective in the account of ‘turbulent spaces of the practicum’ by Hugh Busher. The emerging themes of internationalisation, the use of virtual tools and the role of reflection in practicum teams will be invaluable to anybody engaged in teacher training."
Emeritus Professor Tony Lawson PFHEA, School of Education, University of Leicester, UK.
