  • Introduction

    This unit introduces the diverse profiles of first-year university student-teachers in Rwanda, emphasizing how their prior experiences, beliefs, motivations, and attitudes shape their transition into teacher education. Understanding these typologies is essential for enhancing teaching, learning, and professional development within teacher training institutions.  The unit focuses on four main categories of student-teachers: Traditionalists, mavericks, converts, reservationists. By examining these typologies, the unit aims to help you better understand individual differences in learning and professional identity formation.
