Many studies show that the impact of teacher education on teachers depends on the pedagogical approaches used and that this impact is often rather limited. In his presentation, dr. Korthagen will give a brief overview of this line of research. Next, the so-called realistic approach to teacher education will be presented, which has been shown to have a strong impact on teacher learning. In this approach, authentic teaching situations and student teachers’ own concerns form the basis for reflection and the introduction of theory. The concept of reflection will be clarified and elaborated. During the last couple of years, Korthagen has focused on core reflection, and has developed an approach in which the personal and the professional aspects of teaching are combined, leading to deep and transformative learning in teacher education.
