Hyper-socialised explores the challenges of late capitalist times
for education systems, schools and teachers. It looks at how trends
of accountability, 'teaching to the test', using pupil voice and
reliance on network technologies are all connected to powerful
social and economic forces, shaping the curriculum as it is taught
in classrooms. Such forces threaten to overwhelm teachers but, in
the right hands, they can also be harnessed to create, influence
and teach a truly powerful curriculum for their students.
Presenting a historical view of curriculum change, the book
examines how society, curriculum and teachers are linked. Using
geography as an illustrative subject, the chapters investigate what
influences teachers, to what extent they are in control of the
curriculum, and what else is shaping it. Divided into two parts, it
offers An in-depth exploration of the relationship between society,
teachers and the curriculum, including that what and how to teach
remain wide open to debate Evidence-based research into the
significance and implications of 'hyper-socialised' curriculum
enactment for teachers and teacher education Four case study
'portraits' of geography departments and personal curriculum
stories of each Head of Department Insights into the nature of
teaching as a profession and how a crisis of teacher recruitment
and retention may be addressed. Written in clear and accessible
terms, this book is an essential resource for teacher educators,
subject teachers, headteachers and educational researchers who want
to understand how and why schools and teaching are changing - and
what this means for them.
