The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Transmission-based pedagogy is notably resistant to change, notwithstanding accumulated wisdom in teacher education research. This paper locates the origin of this pedagogy in economic and social transitions of the seventeenth century and argues that erasing this pedagogy therefore requires a holistic, dialectical analysis of its historical emergence in order to sensitise us to the possibilities for transformation immanent in the current educational landscape.
