Abstract
The author describes and criticizes the influence of industrial metaphors in education and teacher education. He argues that education renewal requires the creation of new metaphors that represent teacher-student relationships quite different from those typically associated with discipline and management. An approach to preservice teacher education is briefly described that involves analyzing teaching metaphors as a means of exploring beginning teacher thinking and generating alternative conceptions of teaching. Finally, some of the difficulties involved in creating and institutionalizing alternative metaphors for teaching and learning are discussed.Keywords
