"Passing Through" a Western-Democratic Teacher Education: The Case of Israeli Arab Teachers

The author presents data from Jewish and Arab Israeli students and teachers illustrate how Arabs, educated in the Arab cultural context, "pass through" a western-oriented teacher education program, then return to teach in their own culture. Changes in Arab student teachers' beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge applications are traced as they make sense of knowledge presented in the program and construct bodies of knowledge along the path toward teaching in Arab communities.
