摘要：In this paper the author argues that cooperative education, in the form or practicums, form an essential part of teacher training and is the means by which academic content or professional knowledge gains real value. Through their practical craft, or artistry, practitioners implement their professional or academic knowledge base, so it can be employed for the purposes it was intended, whether this is to design a technological solution to an industrial problem, or to educate children. Research in education is driven by paradigms that fail to take account of the complexity of the teaching environment. A more holistic approach to teacher education is required and the author suggests that cooperative education has the potential to play an important role in the education of teacher trainees. Research into cooperative education likewise needs to be developed via a holistic approach using qualitative or interpretative strategies
