Dr. Gabriel Diaz Maggioli – Teacher Education at the Crossroads

About

Gabriel Diaz Maggioli’s featured presentation at the 2013 KOTESOL International Conference held at Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul, South Korea.

Overview

Teacher Education at the Crossroads: The Role of Theory and Practice
In this presentation Dr. Maggioli explains that teacher training and education practices tend to emphasize practice or theory. He then goes on to propose a new perspective called “Participate and Learn,” which allows teacher educators and aspiring teachers to engage in cycles in which they practice theory and theorize practice.
