ABSTRACT This article exemplifies the advantages that researchers have if they apply visual methods and in particular photo-elicitation to qualitative research. The research context is post-compulsory education with the field of study being a new vocational degree programme, and the theoretical content of the article draws on the work of Goffman, alongside theories of literacy as social practice. It is interesting that the policy documents that are framing new vocational degrees are texts written in particular ways and that in the UK these texts are informed by political and economic agendas. However, the texts that have given rise to new vocational degree programmes do not appear to necessarily align with the rich subjective practices which are occurring within this form of post-compulsory education. The research that is presented in this article from selected students and academics who are working on a particular vocational degree reveals profound interpretations of the purpose of new vocational degrees. The imaginative and creative images that are captured by the application of photo-elicitation to this study reveal a fascinating interplay between the policy texts and the subjective interpretations of the purpose of post-compulsory education.
本文举例说明了研究人员在定性研究中应用视觉方法,特别是照片启发的优势。研究背景是后义务教育,研究领域是一种新的职业学位课程,文章的理论内容借鉴了戈夫曼的工作,以及作为社会实践的识字理论。有趣的是,制定新职业学位的政策文件是以特定方式编写的文本,而在英国,这些文本是由政治和经济议程决定的。然而,产生新的职业学位课程的教材似乎并不一定与这种形式的后义务教育中出现的丰富的主观实践相一致。本文中介绍的研究来自于正在攻读特定职业学位的学生和学者,这些研究揭示了对新职业学位目的的深刻解读。在本研究中运用图片启发法捕捉到的富有想象力和创造性的图像揭示了政策文本与对后义务教育目的的主观解释之间令人着迷的相互作用。

ABSTRACT The paper captures the professionalisation of teachers in the further education sector by shining a light on their everyday struggle to uphold their ethical goals in support of their students in a climate of performative and regulatory expectations. It reports on a small-scale qualitative study in which the six participants were either on the Postgraduate Certificate in Post Compulsory Education course (PGCE in PCE) or on the Masters degree in Professional Practice and Lifelong Education (MA PPLE). They were therefore either student teachers or experienced teachers with different lengths of experience. Students were asked to rank order a set of cards and clarify their decisions. Semi-structured interviews were then undertaken in which the participants were asked to bring artefacts of their choice (potentially from their course of study). Reflection points included the construction of self as teacher and the tensions and impact of a range of expectations nationally and locally. Participants shared responses to continuous change in the sector, their institutions and within their practices. All expressed a common and sustained mission to make a difference, no matter how small, to their students’ lives.
摘要:本文捕捉了教师在继续教育部门的专业化,通过照亮他们的日常斗争,以维护他们的道德目标,支持他们的学生在执行和监管期望的气候。它报告了一项小规模的定性研究,其中六名参与者要么是义务教育后研究生证书课程(PCE中的PCE),要么是专业实践和终身教育硕士学位(MA PPLE)。因此,他们要么是实习教师,要么是经验丰富的教师。学生们被要求对一组卡片进行排序,并阐明自己的决定。然后进行半结构化访谈,参与者被要求带来他们选择的人工制品(可能来自他们的学习课程)。反思点包括作为教师的自我建构以及国家和地方的一系列期望的紧张和影响。与会者分享了对行业、机构和实践中不断变化的反应。所有人都表达了一个共同而持久的使命,即对学生的生活做出改变,无论多么微小。

ABSTRACT Despite the substantial growth of research on identity construction in real-life contexts, little is known about PhD students’ online identities, especially their identity shift from real-life to virtual contexts. The present study aimed to address this gap by examining the identity development of ten PhD students from the field of Applied Linguistics during the Covid-19 pandemic, by adopting narrative inquiry. Data analysis revealed that PhD students’ identity was marked by four major components including professional development, sense of self-development, social interactions in community of practice, and their perceptions. The study concludes with implications for both PhD students, administrators and instructors by raising their awareness of the importance of facilitating the change from face-to-face to online contexts.
摘要尽管在现实生活中对身份建构的研究有了长足的发展,但对博士生的网络身份,尤其是他们从现实生活到虚拟环境的身份转变知之甚少。本研究旨在通过采用叙述性探究的方式,研究新冠肺炎大流行期间应用语言学领域十名博士生的身份发展,以解决这一差距。数据分析显示,博士生的身份由四个主要组成部分组成,包括专业发展、自我发展感、实践社区中的社会互动和他们的感知。该研究的结论是,通过提高博士生、管理人员和讲师对促进从面对面环境向在线环境转变的重要性的认识,对他们都有启示。

Joining the dots: theorising professionalism in the English Further Education Sector 加入点:英语继续教育领域的专业理论

ABSTRACT Professionalism is an important issue for policymakers in post-16 education because of its established links to competence, morale and staff continuity. Arguably, it is the pursuit of professionalism that ensures high quality teaching and learning, satisfied students and stakeholders, and the ongoing esteem of the general public. However, despite its alleged importance, professionalism has been largely missing as a topic from policy narratives. This lacuna may be linked to common perceptions that professionalism is complex, opaque and difficult to operationalise. Redressing this issue, this article examines what professionalism means to practitioners who work in the English Further Education (FE) sector. 461 practitioners working in teaching, management and curriculum settings completed an online survey, responding to the question: ‘What does being professional mean to you in the context of your working role and duties’? Perceptions of professionalism were content analysed and reported thematically. Using two-way correspondence analysis, the results were theorised as a tripartite model comprising three intersecting professionalism schemas: expertise, service and compliance. This model provides the basis for understanding and exploring the contested properties of professionalism expressed across the FE literature. Uniquely, the model emphasises the role that recognition plays in respondents’ constructions. The article concludes by suggesting a number of ways professionalism in FE might be supported.
专业精神是16岁后教育政策制定者的一个重要问题,因为它与能力、士气和员工连续性建立了联系。可以说,正是对专业精神的追求,确保了高质量的教学和学习,让学生和利益相关者满意,并得到了公众的持续尊重。然而,尽管职业化被认为很重要,但在政策叙述中,职业化在很大程度上是一个缺失的话题。这种缺失可能与人们普遍认为专业精神复杂、不透明且难以实施有关。为了解决这个问题,本文探讨了专业精神对在英语继续教育(FE)部门工作的从业者意味着什么。461名在教学、管理和课程设置领域工作的从业者完成了一项在线调查,回答了“在你的工作角色和职责中,专业对你意味着什么”这个问题。对专业精神的看法进行了内容分析和专题报告。使用双向对应分析,结果被理论化为一个三方模型,包括三个交叉的专业主义图式:专业知识、服务和遵守。这个模型为理解和探索在FE文献中表达的专业主义有争议的属性提供了基础。独特的是,该模型强调了认知在被调查者的建构中所起的作用。文章最后提出了一些支持财经专业的方法。

Transition of Female Pakistani Students to both the UK and Postgraduate Education Context: Constructing Hybrid Identities through a modicum of control 巴基斯坦女学生在英国和研究生教育背景下的转变:通过少量控制构建混合身份

ABSTRACT The article explores female Pakistani students’ narratives of transition on moving to the UK and into post-graduate higher education. It draws on a qualitative longitudinal study with six female Pakistani students at one university to reveal the complex ongoing transformation of their thinking, feeling and believing. An analysis of troubles of identity during the year are suggestive of their seizing a ‘modicum of control’: a kind of agency that doesn’t resist power structures, but does make an individual feel that they are choosing. As a result our participants went on to make profound changes to some of the ways they thought about and lived their lives. The results have implications for Universities, policy makers and tutors to transcend an institutional focus into a broader enculturated view that highlights an irreversible change to their past identities, which needs support both for students’ transitioning to the UK University and on their return.
本文探讨了巴基斯坦女学生移居英国并进入研究生高等教育的过渡叙述。它利用对一所大学的六名巴基斯坦女学生进行的定性纵向研究,揭示了她们思想、感觉和信仰的复杂持续转变。对这一年的身份认同问题的分析表明,他们抓住了“一点控制权”:一种不抵制权力结构的代理,但确实让个人觉得他们是在选择。结果,我们的参与者在他们思考和生活的一些方式上做出了深刻的改变。研究结果对大学、政策制定者和导师具有启示意义,他们应该超越对机构的关注,从更广泛的文化视角出发,强调学生过去身份的不可逆转的变化,这既需要支持学生向英国大学过渡,也需要支持他们回国。

ABSTRACT Following the unexpected lockdown of education in March 2020 and again in February 2021, this research looks at the subsequent online learning that took place during the second lockdown at a vocational further education college located in the south of England. These online sessions used Google Meet as a forum and teachers at the college suddenly had to adapt their planned teaching to suit this new environment, Observation data was collected using an assessment tool consisting of 11 criteria with which to assess these sessions. This was followed up with teacher self-assessment using the same criteria and students surveyed for their perspective after the lockdown had finished in March. The data shows some discrepancy between what the observer 'saw' and what the teachers thought about their own TPACK levels in terms of outcomes and the student data indicates that online learning was 'unengaging' in terms of activities. The conclusion looks to the concept of digital wisdom as a means of using technology as a meaningful learning tool rather than as simply a different way to cover content in the light of the changes to curriculum delivery.
摘要继2020年3月和2021年2月教育意外封锁后,本研究着眼于位于英格兰南部的一所职业继续教育学院在第二次封锁期间进行的后续在线学习。这些在线课程使用Google Meet作为论坛,学院的教师突然不得不调整他们计划的教学以适应这种新环境。使用由11个标准组成的评估工具收集观察数据,以评估这些课程。随后,教师使用相同的标准进行了自我评估,学生在3月份封锁结束后接受了调查。数据显示,在结果方面,观察者的“所见”和教师对自己的TPACK水平的看法之间存在一些差异,学生数据表明,在线学习在活动方面“令人不快”。结论将数字智慧的概念视为一种使用技术作为有意义的学习工具的手段,而不是简单地根据课程交付的变化来涵盖内容的不同方式。

Explaining domestic student enrolment growth in Australian private universities and colleges 解释澳大利亚私立大学和学院的国内学生入学率增长

ABSTRACT Australia established a demand-driven funding model for government-subsidised undergraduate places at public universities between 2012 and 2017. This allowed public universities to expand subsidised undergraduate places over this period. However, private universities and colleges did not have access to demand-driven funding but nonetheless grew domestic student enrolments by 38% over the same period, an unexpected difference given that demand-driven funding allowed public universities to expand enrolments with few limitations. To explain differences in growth by institution type, a supply and demand model relevant to public universities and private universities and colleges is developed. The model is used to understand enrolment dynamics and how providers responded to the demand-driven funding environment. Drawing on novel higher education statistics, four hypotheses for the unexpected enrolment growth in private universities and colleges are tested: reputational factors; disciplinary specialisation; price; and appeal to disadvantaged student groups. The data reveal some support for each hypothesis but show disciplinary specialisation is the strongest explanation of enrolment growth outside public universities. The findings illustrate how less established private institutions can grow and compete with more established public universities by responding to market demand and offering specialised programmes to meet that demand.
澳大利亚在2012年至2017年期间为公立大学的政府补贴本科学位建立了需求驱动的资助模式。这使得公立大学得以在此期间扩大受补贴的本科招生名额。然而,私立大学和学院无法获得需求驱动的资金,但在同一时期,国内学生入学人数增长了38%,这是一个意想不到的差异,因为需求驱动的资金允许公立大学在几乎没有限制的情况下扩大入学人数。为了解释不同院校类型的增长差异,本文建立了一个与公立大学和私立大学相关的供求模型。该模型用于了解入学动态以及提供者如何应对需求驱动的融资环境。利用最新的高等教育统计数据,对私立高校意外招生增长的四个假设进行了检验:声誉因素;学科专业化;价格;并吸引弱势学生群体。数据显示,每种假设都有一定的支持,但学科专业化是公立大学以外招生增长的最有力解释。调查结果表明,不太成熟的私立大学如何通过响应市场需求和提供满足需求的专业课程来发展并与更成熟的公立大学竞争。

Perceptions of performativity in English Further Education 英语继续教育中的表演性认知

ABSTRACT The notions of performativity and the use of accountability practices within the UK education sector are contentious. Although some commentators suggest that statistically driven performativity measures do not align with practitioner values, little research has investigated any potential differences in relation to job role and level of management responsibility. This study focused on whether perceptions of performativity change according to someone’s job role and whether there is a differential between managers and teachers. An electronic questionnaire was disseminated at a single FE college, with 107 participants surveyed across a wide range of subject areas. Quantitative analysis revealed that perceptions of managers differ from those of teaching staff regarding the effectiveness of statistical performativity targets to drive factors which are integral to an efficacious learning environment. Results are far from unequivocal though. As practitioners take on more of a managerial emphasis within their role, the perceived benefit of and their affinity for target setting and performativity measures increase. However, the magnitude of this more favourable outlook towards performativity is limited, with managers also broadly sceptical concerning any benefit and positive impact that target setting practices can have.
在英国教育部门,绩效和问责制实践的概念是有争议的。尽管一些评论家认为,统计驱动的绩效指标与从业者的价值观不一致,但很少有研究调查与工作角色和管理责任水平相关的任何潜在差异。这项研究的重点是,人们对绩效的看法是否会随着工作角色的不同而改变,以及管理者和教师之间是否存在差异。一份电子问卷在一所FE学院分发,调查了107名参与者,涉及广泛的学科领域。定量分析表明,对于有效学习环境不可或缺的驱动因素的统计绩效目标的有效性,管理人员的看法与教学人员的看法不同。然而,结果远非明确。当从业者在他们的角色中承担更多的管理重点时,他们对目标设定和绩效度量的感知利益和亲和力就会增加。然而,这种对绩效更有利的前景的重要性是有限的,管理人员也普遍怀疑目标设定实践可能带来的任何好处和积极影响。

As practitioners take on more of a managerial emphasis within their role, the perceived benefit of and their affinity for target setting and performativity measures increase. However, the magnitude of this more favourable outlook towards performativity is limited, with managers also broadly sceptical concerning any benefit and positive impact that target setting practices can have.","PeriodicalId":45169,"journal":{"name":"Research in Post-Compulsory Education","volume":"27 1","pages":"148 - 172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46206567","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT At a time of the British government’s heightened interest in Further Education (FE) college governance, this paper explores Academic Staff Governor (ASG)’s professional and power status at three colleges in England. The study draws upon relevant literature to identify concepts related to ASGs’ power and professional status in governance. An interpretivist stance is used to collect predominantly qualitative data through a combined methods approach. During fieldwork, evidence from semi-structured interviews; questionnaire responses, observations of governance meetings and governance documents was analysed. Findings suggest that ASGs’ insiderness; relationships, professional status and the decision-making circumstances may limit their influence in the governance of the colleges, with implications for governance quality. From the exploration, ‘The Restricted Professional Model’ has been developed to highlight the restricted nature of the ASG role with implications for good governance. For governors, organisations and policymakers, the research recommends avoiding low-power and low-status governance roles; taking action to develop ASGs’ professionality as educators; removing structural and power barriers and allowing more opportunities for ASGs to contribute to governance. Finally, future research is identified including research to establish ASGs’ professional profiles in FE and the wider impact educators’ professionality has on governance in a variety of educational institutions.
摘要在英国政府对继续教育(FE)学院治理的兴趣日益高涨之际,本文探讨了英国三所学院的教务长(ASG)的职业和权力地位。该研究利用相关文献来确定与ASG在治理中的权力和专业地位相关的概念。解释主义立场主要用于通过组合方法收集定性数据。在实地调查期间,来自半结构化访谈的证据;对调查表答复、治理会议的意见和治理文件进行了分析。研究结果表明,ASG的内在性;关系、职业地位和决策环境可能会限制它们在大学治理中的影响力,并影响治理质量。在探索过程中,制定了“受限专业模式”,以突出ASG角色的受限性质,并对善治产生影响。对于州长、组织和政策制定者,研究建议避免扮演低权力和低地位的治理角色;采取行动发展助理秘书长作为教育工作者的专业能力;消除结构性和权力障碍,让ASG有更多机会为治理做出贡献。最后,确定了未来的研究,包括建立ASG在FE的专业档案的研究,以及教育工作者的专业性对各种教育机构治理的更广泛影响。
