3. Context
• Teacher training in UK
• PGCE
– University Led (UL)
– School Direct (SD)
– NQT
• Secondary Maths and Science
– cohort size (~35)
– R&R – “sink or swim”
– longevity of course
4. What we know already
Liou, Forbes, Hsiao, Moolenaar & Daly (2013)
•Pre-service elementary school teachers - mathematics
– Trust and self‐efficacy are positively associated with
pre‐service teacher’s outcome performance on a
mathematics teaching assessment.
– The social network position of a pre‐service teacher is
also related to performance.
•Importance of support relationships as a buffer/resilience in
a pressured environment
(Le Cornu and Ewing, 2008; Gu and Day, 2007)
10. Research questions
• RQ1: How do the peer communication networks of pre-
service maths and science teachers develop over time?
Network change
• RQ2: To what extent do students communicate with each
other when they are friends and when they need support for
developing teaching strategies?
Networks affecting network change
• RQ3: To what extent do changes in the communication
networks over time depend on type of programme, gender,
self-efficacy and trust?
Factors affecting network change
22. RQ2: Network affecting network change
• Expressive network (friendship) positively associated with
network change at first & second timespans but not the last.
• Mirrored by instrumental network (strategies) only
positively associated at end of course (Sci) and beginning
and end (Ma)
– Friendships stabilised Y3 (March) so that more
instrumental support-seeking become influential
– Encouragement to retain instrumental ties
23. RQ3: Factors affecting network change
• SD (alter) positively associated with network change at first
and second timespans (Ma) and first and last (Sci).
• Self-efficacy (alter) not associated with network change
– Possibly already controlled for in SD, especially early
on during course as SD start with higher self-efficacy
• Gender and trust – no consistent patterns of association
– Controlling for friendship networks – proxy for trust
24. Conclusions
• Importance of mutuality in support networks
– reciprocity
– transitivity and flattening of hierarchy
– self-perceived efficacy (probably) not a factor
• Expressive ties are most important early on, instrumental
later – encouragement to foster a mix of ties and sustain
instrumental ties
• What about transition across to qualified status
and early career
– insights into science and maths teacher R&R?
