- Summary:
-
This interpretive study of a 22-year-old male student teacher in an elementary setting examines how he dealt with the contradictions inherent in the role of "student teacher" by making tacit "treaties" with the cooperating teacher. Data were collected through interviews and observations. Field notes taken during the 5th through the 9th week of the subject's 10-week training included interactions between the student teacher and the cooperating teachers as well as with the students. In-depth interviews occurred weekly. Five formal interviews were tape-recorded and later transcribed. The placement was a grade 3 classroom of 22 students in a rural small town. The subject had earlier failed a field experience, and this impelled him to do whatever it took to pass this student teaching assignment. In fact, observations revealed that the subject made "treaties" with the cooperating teacher on issues of curriculum development, autonomy, interpersonal relationships, and persona. These treaties were tacit, silent arrangements made between teacher and student and only vaguely understood by both parties. Because of the subject's compelling desire to "fit in" and have a "successful" experience, he was willing to sacrifice his own ideas, suppress his personality, and conform to the cooperating teacher's gender-expectations to win her favor.
