Title: | Contemporary Paradigms of Rural Teaching: The Significance of Place | Contributor(s): | Green, Nicole C (author); Noone, Genevieve (author)![]() |

The discussion considers the relevance of the findings, exploring possibilities of reconceptualising rural teacher education. The next section of the paper engages with a move away from a deficit model and negative perceptions of rural Australia, to consider more contemporary paradigms of rural teaching. Two studies will be presented which have drawn upon various research methods and conceptual frameworks to inquire with families and teachers about the everyday life of living and working in rural and/or remote locations. The research methods and conceptual frameworks of the studies shared in this paper contribute to on-going research and offer possible foci for conversations about enabling approaches for rethinking rural and remote locations as not simply a physical location, but the 'whole experience of being there'. The findings of the literature review and the two studies suggest that more attention to the personal, interpersonal and collective experiences of (rural) place, in both pre-service teacher preparation and early career teacher support, may assist in teacher transitions into rural and remote education settings. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian and International Journal of Rural Education, 23(1), p. 91-115 | Publisher: | Society for the Provision of Education in Rural Australia (SPERA) | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1839-7387 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 139999 Education not elsewhere classified 130313 Teacher Education and Professional Development of Educators |
