University-Led Routes of Initial Teacher Training in Great Britain

Journal Title: Інженерні та освітні технології - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 4

Abstract

The paper studies the modern system of initial teacher training (ITT) in the UK, which is quite diversified due to the large number of educational programs leading to awarding the qualified teacher status (QTS). On the macro level, the authors identify three main trajectories of ITT for primary and secondary schools, in particular: university-led, school-led and school-HE-led. On the micro level, the authors explore the university-led ITT, which offers educational programs at the first and second levels of teacher training, in particular: BEd, BA and BSc programs, BA and BSc with opt-in QTS, PGCE/PGDE programmes, subject conversion PGCE and integrated Master with opt-in QTS. The paper also presents requirements for admission to the first and second level programs. The analysis of British universities' teacher training programs has also allowed to identify three types of flexible ITT programs at the second level, among them are flexible, part-time and distance programs for PGCE/PGDE. It is noted that for those people over the age of 21 years and those who apply for one of the flexible programs, there is a system of recognition of previous learning and experience. Analysing Ukrainian and foreign studies in British ITT the authors have found that various aspects of the problem were payed attention to, but the current ITT programs, which have appeared in the last few years, were not discussed, since the British education system is constantly transforming to meet changing needs of society. The study results in refining the modern ITT university-led trajectory in the UK. Under the refinement the authors suggest newly introduced opt-in QTS programmes (BA and BSc opt-in QTS, MA opt-in QTS) to be included in ITT university-led trajectory.
