Material Culture & Pre-Service Teacher Identity DevelopmentThe issue we are investigating is the nature of pre-service teacher (PST) self-identity, which we argue is an essential component in teacher preparation (and ultimately in-service practice) in order that students develop a strong sense of self-awareness and self efficacy— the potential to be a valued member of the education community and have a satisfying career. Thus we endeavour to prompt in our students their personal inquiries into the question: Who is the self that teaches? Our project examines those inquiries, with particular attention to students’ capacities for reflection upon, and articulation of, their evolving self-identities in relation to their chosen profession. Our strategy is to use material culture as the vehicle for investigation.
