Abstract

Literature acknowledges that pre-service teachers’ memories of their past might influence how they see their future as teachers, and thus on the construction of their teacher identity. However, we know little about the nature of the relation between pre-service teachers’ views of the ideal teacher and their memories of their own school teachers, particularly regarding specific subject disciplines, such as biology and geography. This study addresses the significance of this relation. Narratives from three pre-service elementary teachers reveal that positive memories of biology and geography teachers and future-oriented reflection connect their past and the ideal teacher. The findings suggest that just one positive memory can have far-reaching significance. In addition, their views of the ideal teacher were found not to be subject-specific. Finally, suggestions for teacher education are presented.

  • Research literature recognises the effects of the socio-historical past on PSTs' identity development.

    “For example, research literature recognises the effects of the socio-historical past on pre-service primary school teachers' (PSTs') identity development (Lutovac and Kaasila 2012, 2014; Pellikka, Lutovac and Kaasila 2018; Furlong 2013).”

  • Kaarina ascended her own biology and geography teacher as the protagonist of her retrospective and future-oriented identity development.

    “Also, Kaarina ascended her own biology and geography teacher as the protagonist of her retrospective and future-oriented identity development (also see our previous study: Pellikka, Lutovac and Kaasila 2018) .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
