Working with Uncertainty for Educational Change: Orientations for Professional Practice
Editat de Carmel Conn, Bethan Mitchell, Matt Hutten Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2024
The lives of education professionals are built upon a multitude of decision-making events that frame each working day. With a range of expert contributors, this insightful book brings together varied perspectives on the nature of complexity within educational contexts, focusing particularly on the emotional work involved in change. Organised into two major parts, its first part focuses on the intellectual challenge of thinking about uncertainty by exploring the dominant discourses of certainty in the field of education. The second part, on the other hand, considers how we can embrace uncertainty within practice by exploring conditions that support reflection, agency and acceptance of ambiguity.
Presenting themes on a wide range of educational issues including curriculum, pedagogy, equity, leadership and professional learning, this book will appeal to teachers, educational leaders, practitioners and researchers as well as students on undergraduate and postgraduate programmes with an education focus.

Recenzii
“Education reform often manifests itself in ways that discount the complexities, subtleties, and challenges of change at scale. Policy solutions are sought and enthusiastically borrowed, in education, without any real consideration of the conflicting contextual and cultural influences that rage within all systems. This book uses the lens of uncertainty to critically, but powerfully, re-evaluate the deep complexities that define any system. Theoretically rich and practically grounded, this book reminds us that uncertainty and complexity are to be embraced not ignored, if meaningful educational change is the goal.”
