Beskrivning

This presentation aims to describe how newly qualified early childhood education (ECE) teachers from blended learning (BL) early childhood teacher education (ECTE) programmes reflect on 1) what kind of ECE teacher they aspire to be, and 2) how they expect the ECE teaching profession to be in ten years. The analysis contrasts the characteristics that the respondents view as core of their professional self with the ECE field’s predicted future. The BL model for ECTE is an interesting context for this study, as many students have extensive professional experience in ECE but are new to their roles as ECE teachers.
