Abstract
Although Schon's reflection-in-action and reflection-on-action have been important advances in understanding teaching, they do not capture important, tacit dimensions of the experience of teaching and being-in-the-classroom. These tacit dimensions of teaching cannot be acquired through didactic methods, but have to be enacted in lived experience. Teacher development can therefore be viewed as a becoming-in-the-classroom. In this paper, we show how coteaching provides a context in which novice teachers can come to embody this dimension of teaching which is essential to mastery. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
