Exploring school advisors’ practices : dwelling in/between the tectonic spacesKhamasi, Jennifer Wanjiku 05 1900 (has links)
Exploring school advisors' practices: Dwelling in/between the tectonic spaces is a story
about three teachers assisting their student teachers in becoming teachers, and my safari through their
landscapes; what i describe as dwelling in/between the tectonic spaces. Those spaces between school
advising and student teaching, desire and fear, comfortable and uncomfortable, predictable and
unpredictable, all speak to the fact that school advising is a complex phenomena.
The exploration began with two research questions that guided the study: what is the school
advisor's understanding of her practice? What is the school advisor's understanding of how one becomes
a teacher?
i worked with three school advisors from two large urban secondary schools during the 13 week
secondary student teaching practicum in the 1994/95 school year. Diane and Jill came from Maskini
Secondary School. They worked with one student teacher, Betty. Jessica came from Lord Cook
Secondary School, and worked with two student teachers, Chety and Tiany.
Several data generating procedures were integrated and a co-researching relationship fostered
between the school advisors and me. The data generating procedures were conversations, participant
observations, video and audio-taping. Student teacher assessment forms written by the school advisors
were part of the data; and i kept a journal throughout the study.
As i became immersed in the study, listened to several conferences between school advisors
and student teachers, and held various conversations-on-actions with the school advisors, i realized i was
dealing with a very complex phenomenon. Interpreting the data from the point of view of the two research
questions that i began with, and trying to understand the school advisors' practices and their understanding
of how one becomes a teacher from that view, would have meant camouflaging the dynamics and
conflictual nature of such practices. Asking a what is question demanded that i objectify the school
advisors. That would have meant sealing myself off from the atmosphere that i inhabited in those
classrooms, the sounds of pedagogy that i heard, and the smiles that radiated the rooms. That would
have meant not acknowledging what it was like for me inhabiting places full of love and hope. It would
have also meant blocking off the painful moments that were evident at times. The moments and situations
speak of what and how school advising was like and could be like. The data transformed the research
questions.
The complexity of school advising needed to be spoken of according to what it was like and
could be like. Thus, what school advising was like and can be like or what the 1994/95 practicum
was like for the school advisors is told in narratives and metaphors generated from the various
conversations. The narratives, the situations, and the metaphors speak about what we have to grasp as
a whole. They help us understand each advising of a student teacher by a school advisor on a certain
day, in the tone of a previous incident, reminder, and suggestion. The narrative fragments and the
synopsis make sense in the whole. Like parables they constitute what Paul Ricouer calls "networks of
intersignifications."
i have used geographical terms such as safari, tectonic, landscape, terrain, and paths, to
communicate what the practicum was like for us as co-researchers. This study assists us in
understanding what school advising could be like by offering accounts of what it was like for the co-researchers,
Jill, Jessica, Diane, and myself. These accounts describe school advising and student
teaching as processes of reorientation by disorientation which can be tectonic. For student teachers,
the practicum is a reorientation to what was familiar when they were secondary students. For school
advisors, the practicum is familiar because it is a yearly occurrence. However, this study found that
student teaching and school advising can be very disorienting processes to the parties involved. The
tectonicness highlight the need to nurture relationships in teacher education programs which include
pedagogical relationships in the classrooms, triadic relationships during the practicum, student teacher-student
teacher relationships, and, school advisor-student teacher relationships. / Education, Faculty of / Curriculum and Pedagogy (EDCP), Department of / Graduate

If you are the author or principal advisor of this work and would like to request open access for it, please contact us at open-help@bu.edu. Thank you. / The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships which existed between the degree of success in a student teaching practicum and certain mental, emotional and social factors; to determine whether these factors, singly or in combination, can be used to predict success om a student teaching practicum; to discover likely causes for, or factors contributing to, variance in success; and to determine whether present evaluation techniques are reliable measures of the degree of success in a student teaching practicum. / 2031-01-01
