Abstract

[Practicum is an important part of the teacher education program and an important part of becoming a teacher. We believe that to understand the conditions and processes of practicum, special attention needs to be focussed on the preservice teachers´ own accounts of their practicum learning experiences. In this chapter, we are exploring practicum learning from the preservice teacher perspective as described ‘in their own voice’ and ‘in their own worlds’. We have conducted a parallel study with Australian, Chinese and Swedish preservice teachers in an effort to identify the distinguishing features of each context.]
