LEARNING TO TEACH, IMAGINATIVELY: SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TEACHERS THROUGH COGNITIVE TOOLS
Keywords:
imaginative education, teacher education, cognitive tools, teacher education reformAbstract
We propose that teacher candidates need to have extended experiences with learning to teach imaginatively, which is to say that teacher candidates need to have experiences that enable them to consider new possibilities in education. We first attend to the general theoretical framework offered by imaginative education before moving on to consider the implications of imaginative education for teacher education programs. We conclude with some provocations to the field that we hope will be of use for those who might wish to join us in considering how we might teach teachers to teach in imaginative ways — a complex sentence with an even more complicated set of implications.
APPRENDRE À ENSEIGNER, DE MANIÈRE IMAGINATIVE : SOUTENIR LE DÉVELOPPEMENT DES NOUVEAUX ENSEIGNANTS À L’AIDE D’OUTILS COGNITIFS
Nous recommandons que les futurs enseignants vivent un éventail d’expériences d’apprentissage et ce, afin d’enseigner de manière imaginative. Cela signifie que les enseignants en devenir ont besoin d’expériences leur permettant d’envisager de nouvelles avenues en éducation. Tout d’abord, nous nous attardons au cadre théorique général de l’éducation imaginative. Par la suite, nous examinons les répercussions de l’éducation imaginative sur les programmes de formation des maîtres. Nous terminons cet article en mettant le milieu au défi. Ainsi, nous espérons que nos propos seront utiles à ceux désireux de se joindre à nous pour repenser la formation des maîtres, dans l’optique de leur enseigner à enseigner de manière plus imaginative…un énoncé bien complexe ayant des répercussions encore plus complexes.
