Abstract
This qualitative, interpretive research project is an investigation into the
backgrounds and learning experiences of a small sample of Intermediate Phase
student teachers, who are specializing in English teaching, at one university
campus in the Western Cape. The study foregrounds the relationship between
background, values, significant teachers and school experiences and how these
motivate and shape the student teachers in their choosing to teach, their values
and approach to teaching. Their subsequent learning experiences on the initial
teacher education course are another set of influences on their developing
pedagogic approach as evidenced in the teaching practicum. Data is collected
through interviews and observations. This narrative study offers an insight into
the subjective accounts and context of the student teachers’ lives, including how
past social history impacts on them and shapes the way in which they deal with
the present day contextual problems encountered in schools. This study also
sheds a light on the teacher training programme at one university.
