- Description: In this paper I report on a project designed to enhance student teacher engagement in learning by developing an explicit pedagogy of affective learning, traditionally ignored in teacher education as discipline-based studies have dominated the field. Strategies investigated are based on reading engaged on affective levels, intertwined with current approaches to academic reading, with metacognitive responses recorded by the students as part of student evaluation of their own learning. Reading has been structured around literature reading circles (affective reading component), and academic reading circles (professional reading component). The project uses strategy in relation to the identifiable stages in a teaching sequence which help students to realise a learning goal, so that they use learning strategies and respond to teaching strategies that scaffold their learning. The reading program pushes the boundaries of their discipline-based learning, engaging what Schön refers to as ‘indeterminate zones of practice’ as giving an affective dimension, having wider implications for student engagement in discipline-based units than straight academic encounters with discipline-based literature allows. The reading is designed to integrate discipline-based knowledge, the implications of this for professional lives, and the affective dimensions of professional practice. The results of this project indicate that, according to student evaluations, their capacities for self monitoring and self evaluation was enhanced at the same time as their own engagement with relevant literature deepened their understandings of issues that emerged from that engagement.

- Description: In this paper we canvass a shift in professional practice for teachers and teaching and learning as it focuses on Design Education. We acknowledge that changes in formal educational settings result from the scope and rapidity of changes in emerging technologies and understandings of pedagogical influences on teaching and learning. In canvassing the changes, in this paper we identify issues that emerge in relation a number of proposed solutions in dealing with gaps in teacher education in the field of Design Education. We suggest that these same solutions draw on traditional disciplines which ignore the possibilities of Design to engage 21st Century problems in teaching and learning. We draw attention to a neglect in current teacher education programs in relation to teachers of design and what this may imply for classrooms, teachers, and their work.
