Reflections From A ‘Dutch’ Perspective

  • Chapter
A Practicum Turn in Teacher Education

Part of the book series: Pedagogy, Education and Praxis ((PEDA,volume 6))

Abstract

A ‘practicum turn’ is a well-known phenomenon in my Dutch context. In the Netherlands this turn is formulated in the new concept of werkplekleren (‘workplace learning’), indicating that preservice teachers learn at and from the workplace. This concept replaces earlier concepts like stage (apprenticeship), hospitium (apprenticeship, but with some connotation towards hospitality, the trainee being a guest in the school) and simply praktijk (practice, indicating the importance of action). At present werkplekleren is considered a means to bridge the long-standing gap between theory and practice.
