Finnish Cooperating Physics Teachers’ Conceptions of Physics Teachers’ Teacher Knowledge
Authors: Asikainen Mervi A., Hirvonen Pekka E.
This paper examines Finnish cooperating physics teachers’ conceptions of teacher knowledge in physics. Six experienced teachers were interviewed. The results show that the teachers strongly emphasize knowledge related to day-to-day teaching practice. It was also found that the teachers appear to lack some of the essential key ideas of modern physics teacher education, such as a holistic view of instructional approaches.

Secondary Mathematics Cooperating Teachers’ Perceptions of the Purpose of Student Teaching
Authors: Leatham Keith R., Peterson Blake E.
The goal of this article was to examine secondary mathematics cooperating teachers’ perceptions of the primary purposes of student teaching and their roles in accomplishing those purposes. The most common purposes were interacting with an experienced, practising teacher, having a real classroom experience, and experiencing and learning about classroom management. The most common roles were providing the space for experience, modeling, facilitating reflection, and sharing knowledge. The findings provided insights into the cooperating teachers’ perceptions about both what should be learned through student teaching and how it should be learned

Identity Formation of Teacher–Mentors: An Analysis of Contrasting Experiences Using a Wengerian Matrix Framework
Authors: Kwan Tammy Y. L., Lopez-Real Francis
In this article, the authors use Wenger’s matrix framework to analyze the experiences of two teacher–mentors. The authors also use this framework to interpret how the teacher–mentors’ identities are formed during the process of mentoring student–teachers. Factors that contribute significantly to the development of the teacher–mentors’ identity include the school culture, the ‘personalities’ of the other community members, and the influence of other relevant communities of practice.

Authors: Orland-Barak Lily, Hasin Ronit
This study examined the perspectives that mentors, who are considered exemplary in the field, exhibit towards mentoring in different mentoring contexts in the Israeli school system. These perspectives were examined from a variety of view points: The mentors themselves, their mentees, supervisors, school principals, and project leaders. The findings reveal that, despite the different contexts of practice, star mentors shared common perspectives towards mentoring in terms of educational ideologies and envisioned roles and practices, exhibited through the use of a similar professional language.

Culturally Responsible Mentoring: Exploring the Impact of an Alternative Approach for Preparing Student Teachers for Diversity
Authors: Zozakiewicz Cathy
This study argues that culturally responsible mentoring (CRM) is one way to help student teachers put multicultural education into practice. This study examines the impact CRM has on preservice teachers learning to teach in diverse classrooms. The findings demonstrate that CRM helps preservice teachers become critical thinkers about the cultural contexts in which they work. CRM also assists them in developing equitable and inclusive practices for their particular students.

Uncovering Contents of Mentor Teachers' Interactive Cognitions during Mentoring Dialogues
Authors: Hennissen Paul, Crasborn Frank, Brouwer Niels, Korthagen Fred A. J., Bergen Theo C. M.
In the context of developing mentor teachers' use of supervisory skills, two consecutive studies were conducted, using stimulated recall. After training, mentor teachers demonstrate an increased awareness of their use of supervisory skills. This indicates that mentor teachers not only seem to emphasize pupil learning and needs when conducting a mentoring dialogue, but simultaneously focus on their own supervisory behavior.

Mentoring Urban Interns: Amalgamation of Experiences in the Formation of Mathematics Teachers
Authors: Piccolo Diana L., Capraro Mary Margaret, Capraro Robert M.
This study examined eleven K-8 interns’ perceptions of their mathematics mentoring support provided to first-year teacher interns and factors that influenced their ability to teach mathematics. Semi-structured interviews revealed that district and grade-level campus mentors provided the greatest amount of mathematics instruction and pedagogically based support to interns. Three factors most instrumental in developing the ability to teach mathematics were (a) manipulative use, (b) planning of classroom instruction and activities, and (c) execution of the lesson.
