Abstract

ABSTRACT. This study examines undergraduate elementary and music teacher education students' constructions of teaching knowledge and practice. Two vastly different types of institutionalized notions of professionalism present in the two groups are discussed in relation to students' first-time teaching experiences. Emerging out of these two contexts are significant contrasts in how they perceive their identity, function, and role as teachers. Implications regarding current curricular reform movements are explored. RÉSUMÉ. Cette étude analyse la façon dont les étudiants d'un programme de 1er cycle en formation des professeurs du primaire et de musique construisent leurs connaissances et leur pratique de l'enseignement. L'auteur analyse deux types de notions institutionnalisés radicalement différentes du professionnalisme présentes dans les deux groupes par rapport à la première expérience d'enseignement des étudiants. Il ressort de ces deux contextes des contrastes frappants dans la façon dont les étudiants perçoivent leur identité, leur fonction et leur rôle d'enseignants. L'auteur étudie les implications sur la réforme actuelle des programmes d'études.
