Teacher Agency: An Ecological Approach

Autor Dr Mark Priestley, Professor Gert Biesta, Sarah Robinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 oct 2016
Recent worldwide education policy has reinvented teachers as agents of change and professional development of the school curriculum. Academic literature has analyzed changes in how teacher professionalism is conceived in policy and in practice but Teacher Agency provides a fresh perspective on the issue, drawing upon an ecological theory of agency. Using this model for understanding agency, Mark Priestley, Gert Biesta and Sarah Robinson explore empirical findings from the 'Teacher Agency and Curriculum Change' project, funded by the UK-based Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). Drawing together this research with the authors' international experiences and perspectives, Teacher Agency addresses theoretical and practical issues of international significance. The authors illustrate how teacher agency should be understood not only in terms of individual capacity for teachers, but also in respect of the cultures and structures of schooling.

Recenzii

Agentic learners need agentic teachers who can respond, stimulate and challenge. This thoughtful book helps you see why and what can be done to get there. It is a compelling read with messages for everyone working in education.
This book significantly contributes to our understanding of teachers' professional agency. The authors draw together different lines to explore what teacher agency entails, including exploring data from their own empirical research on teachers in the context of a large-scale educational reform. Their conceptualization of teacher agency is an interactive one with relevant implications for the whole educational system and on all its levels. Teacher Agencyis a book that should be read by all who wish teachers to be active and engaged participants in such a system and, through that, can really make the difference.
