  • The study followed eight elementary education students through two years of undergraduate preparation, including student teaching. The students were chosen from candidates nominated by programme co‐ordinators and matched on the basis of survey data collected on all undergraduate teacher education students at Michigan State University. Four are enrolled in the Academic Learning Programme, and four in the Decision‐Making Programme. These two programmes differ in structure, content and ideology.

The interviews probed parallel aspects of the observed curriculum in relation to these issues
