Teacher education and quality teaching in a globalizing world: a socially critical cautionary tale
Conference Contribution ResearchOnline@JCUAbstract
I wish to start by acknowledging the organisers of the International Conference on Teacher Learning and Development ...and also former colleague Dr Sabry Ahmad. The sheer fact that I am here speaking to you in this forum is tied very closely to the theme of the conference and also the ideas I wish to share with you in this presentation, that is, Teacher education and quality teaching in a globalizing world: a socially critical cautionary tale. You see the ideas I wish to share on “quality teaching” and “teacher education” in an inter-connected world grew considerably for me in 2010, and a few years either side, when I was involved in a “twinning project” between my then university - the University of Otago in New Zealand and IGPM Batu Lintang in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. This “twinning” project resulted in multiple trips from NZ to Malaysia by myself and NZ colleagues. On one of those occasions some NZ teacher education students came too. Then there were hosting visits in NZ by Batu Lintang academic staff and of course the Batu Lintang students themselves who did two years of their teacher education degree at home in Malaysia and two years with us in NZ.
