Selection and Professional Development of Initial Teacher Educators: a case study from The Netherlands

Pages 57-61 | Published online: 25 Nov 2010
 

Summary

In this article we describe the selection and professional development of a newly appointed teacher educator at the Institute for Teacher Education at a Dutch university. The situation described is, in our view, representative of the Dutch situation in general. A senior teacher educator and a newly appointed teacher educator were interviewed. The first interview presents mainly information on selection, the second interview covers the professional development of the appointed teacher educator. Both interviews indicate the importance of informal aspects. Personal factors of both colleagues and the teacher educator himself have influenced selection and development. We suggest both elements should be elaborated on and formalised. Notwithstanding, the position of a teacher educator in The Netherlands will remain an uncertain one.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Beitrag wird die Ernennung und professionalle Bildung eines neuen Lehrerausbilders ein Lehrerausbildung in die Niederlanden geprüft worden. Es ist gegrundet auf einem interview mit einen erfahrenen Lehrerasubider und dem neuen Lehrerasubilder. Im ersten Interview steht die Ernennung im Mittelpunkt, weil in dem zweiten Interview die professionelle Bildung benachdruckt wird. Sowohl die Ernennung wie die Bildung des Lehrerausbilders hat viele informelle Aspekte. Persönliche Kennzeichen der Kollegen und des Ausbilders selbst erscheinen bestimmend zu sein für die Ernennung und professionelle Bildung des Lehrerausbilders. Eine Anregung wird gemacht beide Elementen aus zu bauen und zu formalisieren. Nichtsdestoweiniger bleibt die Lage eines Lehrerausbilders in den Niederlanden unsicher.
