Restoring Soul, Passion, and Purpose in Teacher Education : Contesting the Instrumentalization of Curriculum and Pedagogy Hardback
by Peter (University of British Columbia, Canada) Grimmett
Part of the Studies in Curriculum Theory Series series
Hardback
Description
This text both challenges and traces the development of a culture of regulation, standardization, performativity, and governmentality evident in Anglophone teaching practice and education. Framed by a brief history of teacher education research and policy in North America over the last six decades, the text argues that the instrumentalization of curriculum and pedagogy has robbed teachers of their pedagogical soul, passion, and purpose.
Using a conceptual model, Grimmett forges a pathway for teachers to adopt a soulful way forward in professional practice, individually and collectively enhancing autonomy over programs, and protecting the public trust placed in them as educators. This text will benefit researchers, academics, and educators with an interest in teachers and teacher education, educational policy and politics, and curriculum thinking and enactment more broadly.
Those specifically interested in pedagogy, educational change and reform, and the philosophy of education will also benefit from this book.
