Multi-Governance for Teacher Education in Ireland from a Policy Network Perspective——A Case Study on the Hibernian College
Based on a policy network analysis of teacher education at Hibernian College,this study traces the various actor nodes and hubs of shared interests,and explores the mechanisms,driving factors,and inevitable outcomes of multi-governance in teacher education.The study finds that universities are the primary drivers of the multi-governance in teacher education;and that educational technology drives the interactive practices among governance actors,which ultimately leads to a more pedagogical approach to teacher education rather than an academic one.The implications are:the urgency to promote the social participation in teacher education;to adhere to the values of teacher education values in the wave of globalization;and to promote Chinese teacher education to"go global"via distance education.
