| Research Abstract |
This research explores the way in which teacher training universities inside and outside Japan make progress their curriculum and organizational reform and what kind of teacher professionalism the reforms will encourage.
The contemporary teacher education reforms, in general, intend to raise the performance of teaching. In practice, more teacher training universities extend a length of teaching practicum, set performance indicators of teacher trainees, and establish the centers managing teacher education curriculum as whole. However, it can be pointed out the tension in taught knowledge between "teaching" and "subjects", the tension between "research" and "practice" and so on.
