Originally published in 1984, the articles presented here explore
such matters as how teachers maintain order, how they treat their
pupils and how they cope with pressure; they examine the ways in
which teachers relate to their colleagues, what goes on in
staffrooms, how they engage in educational debate, and what their
ambitions are. The contributors get to grips with what it is really
like to be a teacher, to make sense of the everyday rewards and
penalties, opportunities and problems. This is the hallmark of the
ethnographic method of educational inquiry. It brings to life (by
close observation and/or in-depth interview) the internal workings
of an institution or culture, revealing the perspectives of its
members, their roles and adaptations and making explicit the
routine or taken-for-granted features of institutional life. All
the papers in the volume are to one degree or another located
within this methodological tradition - they all begin with what
life is actually like for teachers in schools. Though they draw on
a range of theoretical perspectives, from interactionism and
ethnomethodology, to Marxism and the 'New Sociology of Education';
and more besides. In this volume the editors bring together
examples of some of the most important and influential pieces of
work which illustrate the range of material, and which have
hitherto been spread widely among different research reports,
academic journals, and collections of conference papers. Classrooms
and Staffrooms provides a fund of quality source materials for
initial and in-service teachers.
