This book describes research examining how eight New Zealand women
kindergarten teachers experienced their lives, personally and
professionally, in relation to the restructuring of education that
took place in New Zealand between 1984 to 1996. Drawing on life
history interviews with the teachers, and using the theoretical
ideas of Foucault as a 'tool kit' - an aid to analysis - the
teachers' stories highlight how their lives were restructured as
the kindergarten service was reformed. Not only were their
day-to-day teaching experiences reshaped, but their personal lives
and their subjectivities became reshaped and reformed. The
teachers' narratives enable a view of early childhood education
restructuring to be reconceptualised addressing both the
philosophies of the kindergarten service and the professional and
personal commitment of teachers to early childhood education. This
book provides insights into educational restructuring, and
postmodern approaches to educational research. It will be a useful
resource for all educational researchers, teachers and scholars.
