Learning to teach in out-of-university and out-of-school environments in primary teacher education in Estonia, Finland, and SwedenUppin, Helene (Avtor) Norrman, Kimberly (Avtor) Näkk, Anne-Mai (Avtor) Areskoug, Linn (Avtor) Timoštšuk, Inge (Avtor) Corner, Solveig (Avtor) Löfström, Erika (Avtor) learning environmentspre-service teacher trainingprimary teacher educationreflective practicecase-studyLearning in diverse settings during pre-service teacher training equips future primary teachers with the knowledge and skills to teach in authentic learning environments later in their work lives. This experi-ence helps to meet the varying needs of their future students who have increasingly diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds with varying levels of access to learning and knowledge. During their university studies, pre-service teachers need to recognise the value of out-of-school environments, reinforce awareness in practice, and reflect on experiences to deepen pedagogical thinking about learning environments. This multiple case study describes the common practices in the pre-service training of primary teachers at Tallinn University, University of Helsinki and Uppsala University concerning teaching in out-of-classroom learning environments. Our aim was to explore the ways that the three universities support pre-service primary teachers in using out-of-school learning environments in their future practice. We intended to identify practices regarding our respective national curricula and university courses for pre-service primary teachers. We have three main suggestions for teacher educators regarding learning to teach in diverse environments: enable meaningful and reflective practical tasks in out-of-university learning environments for pre-service teachers; ensure the sustainability of external partnerships by stating collaborative practices in course programmes while leaving flexibility in the details; and reflect on professional networking across the boundaries of institutions.20252026-02-09 13:14:33Članek v reviji179270slPodatek o licenci CC-BY 4.0 je naveden na spletni strani revije (https://ojs.cepsj.si/index.php/cepsj/about).
