Between the state and the street
No full textA substantial amount of research evidence has been gathered regarding the pathologies of accountability, but less attention has been paid to the reasons why such pathologies occur in the first place. The chapter addresses this issue by exploring accountability in the context of Habermas’ theory of lifeworld colonisation. The chapter explores the value of the colonisation thesis to modern day issues associated with the ‘regulatory state’, that form of state governance with surveillance and enforcement strategies at its core. It takes seriously the contribution that Habermas can make to the field of education administration – a contribution that can position the field in its broader context of democratic governance. At the same time, it is accepted that there are limitations of the colonisation thesis as an explanatory device, with the chapter arguing that not all the consequences of accountability can be considered illustrative of a damaged communicative intersubjectivity. Specifically, the chapter turns to the concept of street-level bureaucracy for further refinement of Habermas’ ideas around governance
Social theory and education research
No full textThis introductory chapter sets the scene for the rest of the book, by detailing some of the key political contexts within which theory-driven education research finds itself. These include the politics of education, as well as the politics of both education research and social theory more generally – contexts which have important implications for the methodological approach of theory-driven research. The chapter includes a brief introduction to the field of social theory, while also outlining some of the challenges for educational researchers when attempting to ‘apply’ advanced theory in real-life professional settings. Some of these reflect issues of research design and implementation, including the development of tools such as data measurement and analytical criteria. Just as significant are the difficulties faced when grappling with the core concepts of social theory that already come with a range of meanings. Notions of ‘power’, ‘culture’ and ‘practise’ are challenging at the best of times, but such challenges are compounded when they are aligned with the core educational concepts of teaching, learning, assessment, curriculum and support. This chapter provides a summary of these challenges and makes some recommendations for current/future researchers attempting to bridge the social theory/education gap
Theory as Method in Research On Bourdieu, social theory and education
No full textWhile education researchers have drawn on the work of a wide diversity of theorists over the years, much contemporary theory building in these areas has revolved around the work of Pierre Bourdieu. Theory as Method in Research develops the capacity of students, researchers and teachers to successfully put Bourdieu’s ideas to work in their own research and prepare them effectively for conducting Masters and Doctoral scholarships.Structured around four core themes, this book provides a range of research case studies exploring educational identities, educational inequalities, school leadership and management, and research in teacher education. Issues as diverse as Chinese language learning and identity, school leadership in Australia and the school experience of Afro-Trinidadian boys, are covered, intertwined with a set of innovative approaches to theory application in education research.This collection brings together, in one comprehensive volume, a set of education researchers who place Pierre Bourdieu’s key concepts such as habitus, capital and field at the centre of their research methodologies. Full of insight and innovation, the book is an essential read for practitioners, student teachers, researchers and academics who want to harness the potential of Bourdieu’s core concepts in their own work, thereby helping to bridge the gap between theory and method in education research
