This book brings together for the first time a synthesis of
philosophical and psychological material to examine the basis for
the professional identity that teachers might believe in, and the
effects of misunderstanding and mistreating these beliefs. By
critically synthesising findings from a range of sources, the book
provides a rationale that argues an essential ingredient of good
education is the quality of teachers who have a reaffirmed sense of
creativity, autonomy and agency. The book presents a role for
educational psychology in informing educational and inclusive
processes, filling a longstanding need for a text that delineates
the way psychological phenomena underpin education. Beginning by
considering notions of 'self' and 'identity', the book explores the
relationship between our identity as defined by ourselves, but also
as defined by others in the social and professional groups we may
or may not be considered as being part of. It looks critically at
how the erosion of the professional identity of teachers has
affected education, and considers the morality of 'othering'
'others' and its damaging effect on teachers and young people.
Gibbs reflects on the organisational structure and leadership of
schools, the psychology of these institutions, and the barriers
that need to be overcome in order to promote greater inclusivity
within them. Offering a careful and insightful look at the
psychology behind education and teaching, this is an essential read
for teacher educators, researchers and academics in the field of
education and will appeal to policy makers, teachers and
educational psychologists.
