Description
The roles that foundations scholars can play in a university and in the wider world of practice continue to develop. A standard and needed role that many of us serve is in teaching the usually mandatory history and philosophy of education course to our undergraduates as our contribution to preservice teacher preparation. Some of us work closely with other colleagues, in other parts of the education college, or in areas such as American Studies, or the many departments of a university that sponsor teacher education, while others teach in schools, and advise school boards, education agencies, and national panels. In this issue of the Journal of Thought, you will find articles that delve into multiple topics that revolve around the varied roles taken by foundations scholars. If there is any doubt that there is vitality among foundations scholars, it is dispelled by reading the articles in this issue. The area of teacher preparation is in need of more attention by foundations scholars, and there are examples here. Articles describe ways of affecting practice, such as Timothy D. Slekar and Leigh Ann Haefiier's essay about teaching history and science that shows how teacher educators teach reflectively and emphasize practice. The inquiry these scholars talk about is rigorous and a systematic consideration of evidence and data.
