Abstract

This article explores Namibian cooperating partners’ perceptions of receiving pre-service teachers on international practicums. The article focuses on what they perceive as the main benefits and challenges of receiving the pre-service teachers and the potential for developing intercultural competence and global awareness through such arrangements. The Namibian partners were mostly positive about the Norwegian pre-service teachers, although there were also challenges related to differences in cultural and educational backgrounds. The findings are discussed in light of postcolonial theory. The article concludes that a stronger focus on the school and its place in the local community may make the travelling pre-service teachers more capable of understanding the local realities, and thus open to more nuanced dialogue and learning.

接收端:纳米比亚教育工作者对来自全球北方的国际学生交流的看法
本文探讨了纳米比亚合作伙伴对接受国际实习职前教师的看法。本文的重点是他们认为接受职前教师的主要好处和挑战,以及通过这种安排发展跨文化能力和全球意识的潜力。纳米比亚伙伴对挪威职前教师大多持积极态度,尽管也存在与文化和教育背景差异有关的挑战。这些发现是根据后殖民理论进行讨论的。文章的结论是,更加关注学校及其在当地社区中的地位,可能会使出差的职前教师更有能力了解当地的现实情况,从而进行更细致入微的对话和学习。
