Initial teacher education (ITE) has changed dramatically over the past 50 years but some of the same issues persist in Canada and around the world. This article begins with an overview of how teacher education has evolved in Canada with a particular emphasis on the past 50 years. It recounts the gradual rise of professionalisation as teacher preparation moved from normal schools and teachers’ colleges to universities. We discuss the struggles for…
On the edge of chaos: How the deans at one Canadian university have managed to lead in the face of the pandemic and other sources of uncertainty and complexity
There is a growing body of literature on the roles that deans play in challenging times; however, what is often missing are deans’ own voices as they reflect on their experiences trying to manage the dilemmas and crises inherent in their work. This is particularly true of the past few years when deans have managed unprecedented levels of complexity and uncertainty. Using complexity theory as a conceptual framework and case study methodology, the …

Through content analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and teacher candidates’ own words, five dimensions emerged: classr…

Student teachers’ competence and career certainty: The effects of career anxiety and perceived control
In comparison to other professional faculties, student teachers are less certain about their career decisions. Consequently, examining the factors that influence their perceptions of career competence and certainty may be beneficial for their professional development. We examined how student teachers’ (n = 194) gender, grade of instruction, practicum, career anxiety, and perceived control affected their career competence and certainty. Anxiety ha…
