其他摘要：With an increasing diversity in American schools, teachers need to be able to collaborate inteaching. University courses are widely considered as a stage to demonstrate or model theways of collaboration. To respond to this call, three authors team taught an integratedmethods course at an urban public university in the city of New York. Following a qualitativeresearch design, this study explored both instructors‟ and pre-service teachers‟ experienceswith this course. Study findings indicate that collaborative teaching of an integrated methodscourse is feasible and beneficial to both instructors and pre-service teachers. For instructors,this collaborative teaching was a reciprocal learning process where they were engaged inthinking about teaching in a broader and innovative way. For pre-service teachers, thiscollaborative course not only helped them understand how three different subjects could berelated to each other, but also provided opportunities for them to actually see howcollaboration could take place in teaching. Their understanding of collaborative teaching wasenhanced after the course.
