| Abstract: | Research on learning pattern development during pre-service teacher education is scarce. In a cross-sectional (study 1) and
longitudinal study (study 2) the development of learning patterns of student teachers is analysed. Participants in study 1
were 646 first-year and 350 third-year student teachers enrolled in an initial pre-service teacher education programme. 236
student teachers participated in study 2. Vermunt’s’ Inventory of Learning Styles was used to assess differences in learning
patterns. By examining intra-individual changes in learning patterns we expected to find developmental trends within learning
patterns. Results show that meaning oriented learning increases over time and undirected learning decreases. Some learning
patterns are however more subject to change than others. The development of learning patterns was found to be relative and
dependent on the learning pattern which students have already mastered in the first-year of a teacher education programme. |
