Reviews

This unusual and very important book explores exactly what its title and sub-title(“Understanding teaching and learning about teaching”) describe. That is: what do we mean by, and how can we approach, quality of learning, teaching and assessment when the learners are student teachers and (in some places) their teachers have no experience of or training in teaching or teacher education?- British Journal of Educational Technology, Vol 38 No 2 2007
