This book presents eight distinctive historical chapters that
explore the complex relationship between politics, professionals
and practitioners in a range of different educational contexts. It
offers a timely contribution to current debates about the contested
place and status of educational professionalism in modern society.
It is grounded in a firm commitment to the value that a historical
perspective might bring to current and recurrent educational
concerns, of which educational professionalism remains key. With
fresh examples from nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century
education, as well as a diversity of methodological approaches and
sources, the book addresses a range of fundamental questions about
educational professionalism. These include the wider politics of
professionalism; issues of professional knowledge and expertise;
what and who counts as professional within various power
discourses; professional training, socialisation and accreditation;
and professional identities, power, agency, autonomy regulation,
accountability, and control. Overall, there is a sense from these
chapters that there is something fractured and disconnected in
current discourses around educational professionalism, but that
there have been particular moments in the past when there was the
promise of something different and possibly something more
authentic. Moving beyond a narrow focus on schoolteachers as
professional practitioners, to embrace a wider conceptualisation of
educational professionalism within higher education, the churches,
educational leadership, and quasi-professional and voluntary
organisations, the book represents a rich and novel contribution to
the field. The chapters in this book were originally published in
various issues of History of Education and the British Journal of
Religious Education.
