Student teachers going abroad
About
These films are made for preparing student teachers going abroad for their practicum. Based on students earlier experiences, we developed three different cases, which were the point of departure for improvisatons that were filmed. We devloped a pedagogical framework to be used in connection with the films. Student teachers were actors, and fellow students gave feed-back on the film and the pedagogical resources.
