dc.description.abstractThe metaphorical basis of teacher reflection about teaching and learning has been a rich area of theory and research. This is a study of metaphor as a shared system of interpretation and classification, which teachers and student teachers and their supervising teachers can cooperatively explore. This study employs metaphor as a means of research to provide insights into the prospective preschool pre-service and their cooperating teachers' current professional self-images, and their retrospective elementary schooling images. A questionnaire consisting of 12 metaphorical images generated by "preschool pre-service and their cooperating teachers" was administered to all entry level preschool pre-bachelor, bachelor student teachers who were enrolled in the Faculty of Education in Selcuk University, Turkey, during the 2005-2006 academic years. Their cooperating teachers (n = 317), currently working in Konya, were chosen to obtain information about their current and elementary schooling years' metaphorical images. Results of the study indicate that significant differences exist between pre-service (pre-bachelor and bachelor) and cooperating preschool teachers' current and elementary schooling metaphorical images. There was a marked difference in their use of student-centered and teacher-centered metaphors. Implications for pre-service and cooperating teacher education and further research are discussed.en_US
