The Struggle for a Profession : Teacher Education in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the four historical eras of teacher education in Quebec that parallel the progression of public schooling in the province. In the first era, which lasted until the mid-nineteenth century, teacher education was sporadic and mainly informal. The majority of teachers lacked any formal training. The establishment of three state-sponsored Normal Schools (McGill, Jacques Cartier and Laval) in 1857 began the idea of formalized, professional training for teachers. This era lasted until the 1960s. The third era, from 1960 to 1991, saw the transfer of teacher education from Normal Schools to university Faculties of Education. The fourth era, which began in the 1990s, saw teacher education centred on a four-year B. Ed. degree combined with 700 hours of practice teaching. During this latter era, the focus on teacher education was away from content knowledge and towards teaching competencies. The author discusses the parallel approach of Protestant and Catholic teaching training in the province.
