Faculty of Education}, month = {}, note = {This paper aims to clarify British ideal on teacher training by analysing its representation in school novels by Jack Sheffield and Gervase Phinn. Based on their several experiences as teachers in Yorkshire, both authors depict the processes of young practice teachers growing into full-fledged ones. Sally in Sheffield’s Teacher series is a female ex-hippie; Tom in Phinn’s The Top of the Dale series is a male ex-professional football player. Describing the ordeals and achievements of these outstanding characters, both series feature the importance of new elements to stimulate older teaching staff and update their views on education. In 1970s and 80s, under Thatcherism, this was an urgent need; in Yorkshire, the most conservative region in Britain, this is a challenge; in England, the nation advocating individualism, this is reasonable and even natural. If the objective of education is to help the rising generation prepare for the future, young teachers, another rising generation themselves, should be given proper respect in designing new projects and prospects in education, as demonstrated by the cases of Sally and Tom. At the same time, it is remarkable that these attractive figures are accompanied by the familiar images of Mother Goose’s nursery rhymes. Sally’s story is a parody of the song “I Had a Little Cow”; Tom is a variant of “Tom the Piper’s Son”. This device is quite effective in presenting these star teachers in harmony with traditional culture. If incorporating the individual talent is the intrinsic attribute of English tradition as T. S. Eliot demands, stories of Sally and Tom are to be regarded not as exceptions but as the very examples of English education given considerable betterment by practice teachers and also for practice teachers to follow―hopefully in Japan as well., text, application/pdf}, pages = {153--170}, title = {ヨークシャー学校小説に見る教員養成の諸相 : 時代性・地域性・個性<人文・社会科学>}, volume = {71}, year = {2022}, yomi = {タケダ, チアキ} }
