Achieving QTS: Secondary trainees' perceptions of standards related to professional values and practice
Achieving QTS: Secondary trainees' perceptions of standards related to professional values and practice
The Standards for Achieving Qualified Teacher Status (TTA, 2002) now include a number of statements listed under the heading ‘Professional Values and Practice’. This paper presents an analysis of secondary teacher trainees’ perceptions of these Standards as a consequence of their school-based and university-based provision in one Initial Teacher Education provider offering the one-year Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). Data is presented from in-depth focus group interviews conducted with a stratified sample of secondary trainees from Mathematics, History, English and Physical Education. The paper seeks to both appraise trainees’ understanding of these Standards and detail the significance these trainees attach to them in both learning to, and qualifying to, teach. Some implications for the training of teachers are shared.

Abstract
The Standards for Achieving Qualified Teacher Status (TTA, 2002) now include a number of statements listed under the heading ‘Professional Values and Practice’. This paper presents an analysis of secondary teacher trainees’ perceptions of these Standards as a consequence of their school-based and university-based provision in one Initial Teacher Education provider offering the one-year Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE). Data is presented from in-depth focus group interviews conducted with a stratified sample of secondary trainees from Mathematics, History, English and Physical Education. The paper seeks to both appraise trainees’ understanding of these Standards and detail the significance these trainees attach to them in both learning to, and qualifying to, teach. Some implications for the training of teachers are shared.
