Getting to the heart of primary education: six contrasting studies
of teachers, teaching, learning and classroom discourse, all set in
a historical frame. Contains extended lesson transcripts for
re-analysis. The five studies in this book span the tumultuous
period from the mid 1980s to the mid 1990s. This was a time when
the dominant educational ideas and practices of the previous two
decades were being questioned and primary teachers were being
catapulted from the Plowden era into the very different ethos of
the National Curriculum.The first four studies portray the ideas,
practices and dilemmas of primary teaching at different points
during this period. They also exemplify different approaches to
classroom research, though all of them stay close to the
interactions between teacher and child which are central to
learning. They thus raise educational questions which are perennial
and fundamental, rather than tied to policy or fashion. The final
study uses a broader brush to provide a historical framework for
understanding the particular blend of change and continuity which
characterises English primary education as a whole.
