Beschreibung:
The fifth and final book in the "e;Discourse, Power, Resistance Series"e;, which has provided stringent and timely critique of current education, examines identity formation. It argues that teachers and learners are pressed to conform their professional identity to a model imposed by distant policy makers who have wholly different concerns. The result is oppressive so learners and teachers adopt various strategies of resistance. This is a book for academics and students working at all levels of education and for policy-makers and managers.
