They can range from establishing relationships that are revolutionary of social order, to education in a neo-liberal perspective based on education as a salvationist position ending all social problems. Social and educational transformations are ambiguous expressions and they have polysemic significances; they are not easily apprehended and have been used in many ways to describe multiple things.

The researchers provide directions towards an effective framework for horizontal TPD programs targeting large numbers of teachers, aiming to allow them to gain the appropriate knowledge and skills in order to integrate emerging technologies as concepts in interdisciplinary STE(A)M-based instructional scenarios, especially in the levels of Secondary general (Gymnasium and Lyceum in Greece) and (post)secondary vocational education (EPAL and IEK in Greece).

This orientation to reflection stresses a commitment by teacher educators to both social justice and to an ethic of care. Various tensions that arise from this dual commitment are discussed. Following a discussion of the place of action research in the Wisconsin student teaching curriculum and of the way in which action research is facilitated by one supervisor, the written reports of action research projects completed by IS student teachers during 1988-89 are then analyzed for evidcncc of the favored view of reflective thinking. The authors speculate about why they did not find as much evidence of attention to the critical domain of reflection as they had hoped for and suggest several possible changes in the student teaching course that grow out of their analysis of action research reports.

ZEICHNER 'According to Dewey (1933). reflective action entails "ilctive, persistsnt. and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in light of the grounds that support it and the further consequences to which it leads" (p. 9).

First, I will draw on my own experiences as a teacher educator and administrator over the last thirty plus years at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the literature to lay out various dimensions of this issue. Then, utililizing the concept of hybridity and "third space," I will discuss a variety of current work in programs across the U.S. that offers much promise in deepening the quality of teacher learning in college and university-based teacher education programs and the ability of teacher education graduates to enact desired teaching practices in complex school settings. This work in creating hybrid spaces in teacher education where academic and practitioner knowledge and knowledge that exists in communities come together in new less hierarchical ways in the service of teacher learning represents a paradigm shift in the epistemology of teacher education programs. I argue that this shift toward more democratic and inclusive ways of working with schools and communities is necessary for colleges and universities to fulfill their mission in the education of teachers.
