This International Handbook of Cultures of Teacher Education is one of the books in the Analytrics 'Cultures of Education' series. The series editor is Guy Tchibozo, Professor of Education at The University of Limoges, France. This volume is edited by Béatrice Boufoy-Bastick an International University Exchange Coordinator, Senior Lecturer in French and TESOL and researcher in the field of Culturometrics at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad. This handbook looks at case examples of current issues occurring across the globe in the field of Teacher Education through the new cultural perspectives of Culturometrics. Over one-hundred widely experienced Educationalists have contributed their specific areas of expertise to this volume. The volume presents comparative international examples of issues in two major areas of Teacher Education vis in Curriculum and in Pedagogy. It shows how this innovative cultural perspective sheds new light on common problems in Teacher Education and suggests alternative 'relational' explanations that can lead to innovative solutions. The chapters illustrate, in different ways, how their particular educational enterprise is successful to the extent that it has a shared meaning for the stakeholders through which the behaviours of the stakeholders communicate mutual values, attitudes and purposes in negotiations of cultural identities.
