Abstract

The text looks at how students in a teacher training department in Greece understand knowledge. The initial question was whether the curriculum's expected learning outcomes were being achieved. Initially, a quantitative methodology involving a questionnaire was employed. However, as the responses of first- and fourth-year students were relatively similar, a qualitative methodology was employed instead, initially in the form of focus groups and subsequently as semi-structured interviews. The research highlighted the importance of previous school experiences, the existence of structured patterns of 'good' and 'bad' teachers, and the predominance of a professional perception of studies. Consequently, students relate teaching and practice to what they deem important, disregarding theoretical knowledge. Ultimately, the effectiveness of university studies in rethinking, deconstructing and/or reconstructing students' previous empirical knowledge is called into question.
