Becoming a Teacher: The Dance Between Tacit and Explicit Knowledge

The book focuses on pre-service teachers' tacit knowledge in the second stage of their studies (Master's study program). It deals with the theoretical background and highlights the need for a radical turn in the methodology when we want to explore this concept. Drawing on this, a qualitative method of data collection which was used in the presented research, so called clean language, is described in detail. The empirical part of the book presents studies concerning topics connected to pre-service teachers' tacit knowledge – unexpected situations, student teachers' beliefs or explicit and tacit knowledge sharing.
