"Good teaching is interesting and inspiring": Teacher educators' views

This paper explores the educators’ conception of good teaching. Previous research shows that the quality of teacher education is built on a clear and shared vision of good teaching. However, to what extent this concept is shared and understood by teacher educators in Indonesia is still unclear. A qualitative approach was adopted to explore how educators perceive the concept of good teaching. A total of eight educators from a private and a state university participated in the interviews. Despite the common beliefs which associate good teaching with the learning outcome, the result suggests that most educators connect good teaching with the learners’ engagement in the learning process and impact on teacher effectiveness in the long run.
