Shaping a ‘pedagogical voice’ using feminist pedagogical principles

This paper examines the development of a ‘pedagogical voice’, based on feminist pedagogy, among female teacher trainees after one year of supervision and study. The underlying assumption was that the development of a pedagogical voice needs certain learning conditions that help in strengthening awareness of the patriarchal learning culture, as part of the process via which a female teacher trainee becomes a female education professional who can support and defend her approach and actions.
