Abstract [en]

The teacher education is often described as being in a performative and standard-based system. Being a teacher educator in this system is a complex task. Teacher educators have to deal with internal demands from students, colleagues and leaders and external demands from state authorities when shaping the education programme in which they teach. This presentation focuses on teacher educators in a Swedish preschool teacher education and aims to explore how commitment to and demands, inside and outside the higher education system, are handled and reflected upon. Results from interviews with teacher educators show among other, efforts to overcome less desirable traditions and how colleagues contribute to tensions but also are perceived as supportive colleagues to learn from. The combined results show how the teacher educators are part of webs of commitments. These webs are regarded as related fields and threads dependent on each other rather than separate parts, making the web/teacher education programme fragile. If any part breaks, the whole programme will be damaged. The discussion relates to how to overcome traditions and making actors in the programme shape a future-directed education together. We argue a need to provide possible tools to make use of deliberation and dialogue, to prepare future preschool teachers as well as the teacher education for public good.
