Academic drift in the development of the education of Nordic primary school teachers

Abstract

In this paper I will account for a comparative study of the development of the education for Nordic primary school teachers (hereafter referred to as teacher education)within Nordic systems of higher education. The development of Nordic teacher educationis explored within the framework of academic drift,which refers to whether this education has been moved from institutions that are far from the universities to instituions that are closer to the universities or if it has even been transferred to universities.
