This dissertation has reviewed recent main transformations in the field of domestic and overseas pre-service teachers' education by literature investigation. Among those transformations, the expectation to improve the quality of pre-service teachers' education through institutional reform as well as improvement of curriculum and teaching contents of pre-service teachers' education is considered to be the main pattern of the transformation. Meanwhile, the neglect of the teacher culture and the pre-service teacher's study, and the lack of learning environment which has rich teacher culture are the main problems in the pre-service teachers' education.The dissertation has analysed the learning theories about distributed cognition and situated cognition, and has discussed their guiding significance on the pre-service teachers' education and the design of learning environment. In the meantime, by having analysed the learning environment and its character of the traditional pre-service teachers' education, the author deems that such learning environment would possibly bring up closed, resource limited, knowledge-guided, and individual implicit learning. On one hand, the pre-service teachers have not derived nutrients from the entire human teacher culture on their own, which goes against the learning and the development of the per-service teachers; on the other hand, teacher educators also have not constructed such learning environment which is beneficial to the learning of the pre-service teachers. Therefore, this dissertation proposes that, apart from curriculum, new learning environment for pre-service teachers should be constructed under the kernel of teacher culture.The dissertation have discussed the four principles of constructing the learning environment for the pre-service teachers: (1) learner-based principle; (2) the principle of the construction of the socialized teacher culture; (3) the principle of situated learning context; (4) the principle of taking mixed learning as technical support. This paper takes the unit of "physics conception teaching in middle school " from Middle School Physics Pedagogy as an example, mainly analyzing the development course of teacher culture, designing cases about the learning environment of the pre-service teachers and the context based on Constructivist views, and making an experimental research on it.
