What influences the emergence of a new subject in schools? The case of environmental education
No full textNew subjects are always emerging but only some gain a place in the formal school curriculum. In fact, most of the now accepted conventional school subjects have, at some stage, struggled to become established. This paper presents findings of a three-year study of teacher and school responses to the introduction of environmental education (EE) as a new subject within the Taiwan national curriculum. School leaders and teachers were interviewed the year prior to the introduction of the new curriculum and during the first two years of implementation. Findings substantiate the importance of six themes (such as examination status and a university pathway) raised in elaborations of the traditional Layton/Goodson model. However, the complex community-school relationships and the value accorded in EE to community-based and even global action, as opposed to academic outcomes, highlighted the need for curriculum policy makers to consider expanding the traditional model with another five themes and most importantly introducing three particular themes. When seeking to promote the emergence of a holistic and integrative subject such as environmental education there is a need to also consider local environment involvement, the transformative nature of EE within whole school involvement, and linkages with a national cooperation network. Without these factors it appears EE may struggle to gain a place in the curriculum

Here, there and everywhere: measurement, assessment and attainment
No full textThis chapter utilises elements of the '5Rs' framework suggested by the book's editors Rudd and Goodson, in order to (1) highlight the ways in which the practice and uses of assessment have been applied through policy in recent years; (2) consider the effect this has had on teaching, learning and the culture of schools; (3) suggest ways in which this dominant, regressive narrative is refracted in practice and the ways in which it can be questioned and resisited. The author argues for a continuing renewal of assessment as a formative and interactive aspect of teaching and learning where more critical and empowering pedagogoies and learning identites can develop
Times of educational change: towards an understanding of patterns of historical and cultural refraction
No full textProfessor Goodson reports on some of the findings from a four year study (2004-2008)of educational reforms in England and Wales, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Finland, Sweden, and Greece. Educational reform is one area where the limitations of neo-liberal thinking have been demonstrated in the financial crisis. By studying the different ranges of national responses and understsanding the different contexts for educational change in historical periods, the author suggests it is possible to think differently about educational restructuring
