ABSTRACT

In this interpretative essay, the author argues for a reconceptualization of the history of teacher preparation focusing on elementary school teaching. Drawing on historical-sociological analysis on teacher preparation in the U.S. and S. Korea, the author reveals that the historial reality of teacher preparation is more complex and ambiguous rather than a sort of linear evolutionary development, which is irreversible march of progress towards professionalization. The author’s thesis is that researchers need to effectively disrupt the often ahistorical and uncritical ways the reformers often frame present-day challenges and problems within teacher education by engaging in historical methods and analysis in ways that better ground and contextualize them.
