Published in 1987, the central question with which this book is
concerned is what can, and should, teachers do about teacher-pupil
conflict in schools? Few teachers in secondary education would need
to have this sort of conflict described as even if that have been
fortunate enough to avoid it themselves they will know of it from
staffroom discussion and from the media. In can be seen in
disorderly classrooms where pupils 'mess about' and 'have a laugh',
and in the bleak expression on the face of their teacher. Equally
it can be detected in those classrooms where the teacher is in firm
control, but where pupils gaze listlessly out of the window, or
only minimally comply with work demands. It is characterized by
sudden blazing temper on both sides, and also by long periods of
weariness, boredom and disengagement. It is not that conflict which
might arise from temporary private troubles, from having a bad day
or going through a bad patch, for it is there week in week out, and
involves significant numbers. Such conflict has been of interest to
both psychologists and sociologists of education and important
contributions have been offered by both of these disciplines.
Sociologists have mapped out the differing cultural values and
norms which appear to promote it. They have identified the social
constraints present within the environment in which it is produced,
constraints which emanate from the socio-economic organization of
society and from the maintenance of an institutional framework, and
which affect the micro-dynamics of teacher-pupil interaction.
Psychologists have described the effects on behaviour of genetic
factors, environmental conditions and cognitive states. Important
though such insights are, however, they can only speak indirectly
to teacher practice. This book provides an educational approach to
the subject discussing topics including theoretical considerations,
teacher-pupil discussion and relationships between classroom
behaviour and the curriculum. It will appeal to those involved with
schools and education, as well as psychologists, educational
sociologists and researchers.
