Education and knowledge have never been more important to society,
yet research is segmented by approach, methodology or topic.
Legitimation Code Theory or 'LCT' extends and integrates insights
from Pierre Bourdieu and Basil Bernstein to offer a framework for
research and practice that overcomes segmentalism. This book shows
how LCT can be used to build knowledge about education and society.
Comprising original papers by an international and
multidisciplinary group of scholars, Knowledge-building offers the
first primer in this fast-growing approach. Through case studies of
major research projects, Part I provides practical insights into
how LCT can be used to build knowledge by: - enabling dialogue
between theory and data in qualitative research - bringing together
quantitative and qualitative methodologies in mixed-methods
research - relating theory and practice in praxis - conducting
interdisciplinary studies with systemic functional linguistics Part
II offers a series of studies of pressing issues facing
knowledge-building in education and beyond, encompassing: - diverse
subject areas, including physics, English, cultural studies, music,
and design - educational sites: schooling, vocational education,
and higher education - practices of research, curriculum, pedagogy
and assessment - both education and informal learning contexts,
such as museums and masonic lodges Carefully sequenced and
interrelated, these chapters form a coherent collection that gives
a unique insight into one of the most thought-provoking and
innovative ways of building knowledge about knowledge-building in
education and society to have emerged this century. This book is
essential reading for all serious students and scholars of
education, sociology and linguistics.
