Silenced voices: the disappearance of the university and the student teacher in teacher education policy discourse in EnglandTools McIntyre, Joanna, Youens, Bernadette and Stevenson, Howard (2017) Silenced voices: the disappearance of the university and the student teacher in teacher education policy discourse in England. Research Papers in Education . pp. 1-15. ISSN 1470-1146 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractThe teacher preparation landscape in England has been subject to radical policy change. Since 2010 the policy agenda has repositioned initial teacher preparation as a craft best learnt through observation and imitation of teachers in school settings. Simultaneously a market based approach to the recruitment of pre-service teachers has led to significant changes for prospective entrants to the profession. In the enactment of policy between 2010-2015, the roles of universities and voices of prospective teachers were systematically silenced. Using critical discourse analysis we demonstrate how both actors have been positioned in, and have accommodated and resisted, the current policy discourses. These findings highlight the importance of problematizing and understanding these emerging issues at local and international levels.
