Teachers’ democratic assignment: a critical discourse analysis of teacher education policies in Ireland and Sweden

ABSTRACT

The needs of a globalized economy are rapidly changing what is legitimated as school knowledge and values, and calling up new understandings of teachers’ role in stimulating democratic spaces. We have termed this Teachers’ Democratic Assignment. We examine changing notions of teachers’ democratic assignment in Ireland and Sweden using a Critical Discourse Analysis. We tested our hypothesis that teachers’ democratic assignment has changed in unprecedented ways using an analysis of policy documents in teacher education. Our findings reported a substantive converging paradigm shift from a predominantly progressive (reconstructivist) curriculum discourse where democracy was seen as inextricably linked to everyday practice in the early years of this century, to a more essentialist (perennialist) discourse in recent times. The findings will have interest for a wider audience and have implications for the role of democracy in teacher education as well as the question of education as a social responsibility for a vibrant democracy.

The role of the formal written curriculum in standards-based reform

More than 15 years after the introduction of a standards-based curriculum reform, the mathematics teachers are positive towards the reform message but have not changed their classroom practice accordingly. To improve the impact of future reforms, it is important to learn from this situation and to better understand the role of the national policy documents. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine how the standards-based reform in mathematics in Sweden was conveyed in the formal written curriculum. The research questions focus on to what extent and how clearly the national policy documents convey the message. The results show that the message is present to a large extent in the policy documents, but that it is vague and formulated with complex wording. The study gives concrete examples and shows in detail in what ways the documents are vague and complex.     

大谷占卜文书研究(之一)——兼与敦煌占卜文书比较

大谷文书中有数十件占卜文书,但《大谷文书集成》对其定名多不准确。本文以敦煌占卜文书为参照,为其中的6件占卜文书予以定名,认为大谷占卜文书反映出来的占卜类型和方法与敦煌占卜文书大体相同,不同的只是用词与繁简。大谷占卜文书中的某些用词不同于敦煌占卜文书,却与中原典籍相同,或许反映了唐前期吐鲁番地区保存的典籍更多地来自中原。大谷占卜文书中有1件既不见于敦煌占卜文书,也不见于传世唐代典籍,是研究唐五代占卜史极其珍贵的资料。
