Social media has become a large part of today’s pop culture and keeping up with what is going on not only in our social circles, but around the world. It has given many a platform to unite their causes, build fandoms, and share their commentary with the world. A tool in helping group posts together or give commentary on a thought is the hashtag. In this paper I explore the evaluative roles of hashtags in social media discourse, specifically on Twitter. I use a sample of randomly selected tweets from the Twitter API stream I collected and compiled myself. I collected a total of 200,000 tweets a

Abstract:
The central question in this thesis is How do participants in the practicum interact in order to evaluate teaching practice? This question has been posed for several reasons: 1. The practicum is a crucial part of teacher education and teacher socialisation; 2. Little is known about the nature of student teacher learning during the practicum; 3. Much of what happens during practicum interactions is taken for granted, and needs to be made explicit in order to fully understand how student teachers learn and what it is important for them to know.

T-PE stems from a social justice perspective and P-PE has more of a use orientation. T-PE is an underdeveloped evaluation theory with relatively low operational specificity.

A special focus of the study was to see how the methods and dsicour
