Abstract
This research investigated the nature of intern teacher learning during the final ten-week internship of a Bachelor of Education (Primary) - BEd - degree. Its key purposes were to understand BEd intern teachers' learning, and to test the researcher-developed LEARnT theoretical framework. This framework is a synthesis of key aspects of Mezirow's transformative learning, Korthagen's core reflection, and Bandura's conceptualisation of self-efficacy belief. ... The research-informed iteration of LEARnT provides an original and significant contribution to the body of knowledge in understanding the nature of learning and more specifically teacher education student and intern teacher learning. This contribution has implications for dialogue, design and delivery of university- and school-based teacher education.
