This book represents the first extensive introduction to the
emerging construct of Educational Self. The new concept describes a
specific dimension of the Self, which is elaborated in the course
of a person's school life and is reactivated anytime the person is
involved in an educational activity, whether as a student, teacher
or parent. The Educational Self (ES) approach was created by the
volume editors and is currently being developed at various
universities in Europe and Latin America as a way of understanding
and operating in educational contexts. The book presents the
theoretical framework and the empirical developments of the
construct, paving the way for further applications in education.
The main locations of the empirical studies are Denmark, Italy,
Brazil, Portugal and Colombia, but the research network is steadily
expanding to other countries, so that the concept here can be
generalized to different cultural contexts. The book addresses a
range of contexts and moments in school life. The editors'
introduction presents the construct of ES, the opportunities for
further theoretical and empirical developments of the concept, and
its potential applications in educational practices. In the
remainder of the volume, ES is explored for different age groups
(from children to adolescents to higher education), different
actors (peers, teachers, parents and their interactions), different
contexts (formal education, special institutions, school-family
relationships) and different phenomena (disruptive behavior,
special needs, value orientation, school failure, etc.). All the
studies share a qualitative idiographic approach, which is
characteristic of the perspective of cultural psychology in which
the ES construct was elaborated.
