Regulation and autonomy in teacher education: government, community or democracy?
Bates, Richard 2004, Regulation and autonomy in teacher education: government, community or democracy?, Journal of education for teaching, vol. 30, no. 2, pp. 117-130.
Current attempts in industrialised countries to regulate teacher education in increasingly prescriptive ways raise profound social, ethical and pedagogical issues. This paper looks at the challenge such prescriptions pose and suggests that such regulation serves the democratic state less well than a more autonomous form of education. The implications of this alternative for teacher education are explored.
