ABSTRACT Universities can be understood as a key site for the transmission of democratic values by helping young people participate directly in democratic activities and education. Thus, it is important to understand whether and how citizenship learning takes place at universities in the UK. This article uses citizenship in transition (CiT) data to examine the possible ways in which university experiences influence student citizenship from a constructivist learning perspective. Based on Habermas’ theories of communicative action and communities of practice, the article proposes that the experience of participating in activities and organisations and the self-identity that is gained by reaching understanding, coordinating interaction, and effecting socialisation at universities are able to promote citizenship learning in the UK. Building on a quantitative analysis, this article shows that students’ sense of belonging to their universities and their participation in organisations generally lead to more civic behaviour in the future.

ABSTRACT Newness was a key theme identified in a comprehensive national study of education outside the classroom (EOTC) in Aotearoa New Zealand. This paper examines what newness means from the perspectives of students, educators and school leaders. Findings reveal that newness in EOTC was valued because of the difference to everyday routines, as well as to students’ learning and positive emotions; it also deepened students’ understanding of the wider world, and their place in it. Consumption of newness occurred when educators and students framed EOTC through new locations because the potential for learning was quickly ‘used up’. Newness also potentially undermined learning for some students because of discomfort and fear. The authors encourage educators and students to engage in the process of understanding newness in EOTC in order to harness the learning opportunities of both familiar and unfamiliar experiences.

ABSTRACT This paper reports the results of a qualitative study that explores the perspectives of one group of parents on English language teachers’ identity and practice in primary schools in Vietnam. Grounded in mixed identity theories (self and others), this study uses in-depth interviews to reveal how these parents position English language teachers and teaching in these schools. The results suggest that two discourses underpin a hierarchical relationship between different primary school English language teachers, which, in turn, establishes and perpetuates a deficit view of those identified as ‘Vietnamese teachers’ of English. It is argued that calls for greater community involvement in language education policy must be accompanied by opportunities for all stakeholders to discover and critically examine the discourses that underpin their positioning of language teaching and teachers. Implications for designing and implementing language education policy to achieve such problematisation in practice are discussed and suggestions for future.

ABSTRACT This study investigated the mediating effects of professional learning community (PLC) components on the relationship between leadership practices and teacher collective efficacy from the perspective of Chinese principals. Survey data were collected from 878 school principals. The results revealed that leadership practices significantly and positively affected the five PLC components, three of which (shared purpose, collective focus on student learning and reflective dialogue) had significant positive effects on teacher collective efficacy. Shared purpose, collective focus on student learning and reflective dialogue significantly mediated the effects of leadership practices on teacher collective efficacy. The practical implications of the findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

ABSTRACT Pupils’ Academic Self-Concept (ASC) has been shown to be related to educational outcomes during compulsory school years, but there is little evidence on the role ASC plays beyond this stage. Using longitudinal data from the English Next Steps survey the authors examine whether young people with higher ASC are more likely to study A levels, participate in further education and attend university. For university attenders, they examine whether higher ASC is associated with attending high status universities or studying higher status subjects. Finally, they explore the relationship between ASC and employment status and income. They find ASC is associated with differences in some of the post-educational routes but not with all. ASC is associated with an increased likelihood of studying for A levels and, for those with the highest ASC, more ASC increases the likelihood of going to university. However, there is no evidence that ASC is associated with going to an elite Russell Group university or related to differences in subjects studied at university, nor is it directly associated with later labour market outcomes once background variables and prior educational attainment are included. However, there will be an indirect relationship which should not be overlooked, as ASC influences A levels and the likelihood of going to university, both of which are associated with improved labour market outcomes. Although not causal, this work suggests that policies aimed at increasing ASC might have the ability to improve students’ educational trajectories, increasing the likelihood that students will study A levels and, for some, increasing the likelihood of attending university. Both of these are pivotal educational cross-roads, so influencing routes at these points not only has the potential to improve opportunities for individuals, but also widen access to HE among groups with traditionally lower participation rates, thereby improving later outcomes, indirectly.

ABSTRACT Positive education is the teaching of both traditional school skills and skills for enhancingwell-being. This study examines teachers’ (N = 72) experiences with training in positive education.Qualitative content analysis was used to provide an in-depth understanding of theexperiences, and quantitative measures investigated teachers’ well-being. Results show thatteachers experienced both personal and professional growth. They also saw positive changesin their students. Teachers used methods of positive education e.g. when communicating withstudents and co-workers, and when supporting the students’ socioemotional development.Challenges with implementing positive education practices mostly consisted of lack of timeor support from colleagues. The authors argue that positive education is an effective tool forenhanced well-being both for participating teachers and their students and could therefore be utilised on alarger scale. Future studies could focus on whether teachers continue systematicimplementing of positive education methods long-term, and the reasons behind continued ordiscontinued.

ABSTRACT This paper explores the emotional work involved in leading schools in marginalised communities, through case studies of Australian and English government-school principals theorised through Lynch’s framework of affective justice and the embedded concepts of love, care and solidarity. Participants demonstrated solidarity in their choice of working in these particular schools, which brings with them a higher level of emotional complexity. Their work towards social justice manifests through their care relationships when interacting with students, staff and communities. These interactions, full of emotion, impact the third affective relation – love. Findings show the impact of participants’ solidarity and care work on their own personal relationships. In exploring the affective domain of school leaders’ work, we seek to articulate how principals can be empowered to continue to undertake their solidarity and care work while mitigating impacts on the relationships that are vital for their own wellbeing.

ABSTRACT Despite the increasing ethnic diversity of England’s school-age population, academic literature on ethnic school segregation remains small, dated and hindered by methodological challenges. This study seeks to address these issues by measuring ethnic school segregation between 2006–2019 using two methodological innovations. Firstly, it is the first national study in England to adopt a multi-group segregation index to measure segregation between five major groups in a single concise metric. Secondly, it uses a clustering algorithm to group local schools into ‘pseudo-neighbourhoods’, which allows for segregation to be measured within local educational markets. The article shows that between 2006 and 2019 the median level of ethnic school segregation within English pseudo-neighbourhoods fell by 25%, which suggests students from different ethnic groups have become more evenly spread across local schools. Additionally, areas in the North of England were typically found to have higher levels of segregation than those in the South.

ABSTRACT School closures and the move to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic transformed teaching and learning in Australian schools. Educators experienced personal and professional challenges as they rapidly responded to the needs of their school communities and managed their own emotional reactions. Eleven educators at two Victorian schools in areas of low socioeconomic status discussed in focus groups the impact of school closures and explored their perceptions of responses from leaders and colleagues who supported their wellbeing. While naming the significance of uncertainty, constant change and increased workloads, these educators acted creatively to ensure their students had access to specifically developed learning materials to suit their needs. Educators demonstrated that they could use existing reflective structures that fostered mutual support to sustain their wellbeing and create supportive environments for themselves and their wider school communities in times of crisis, as well as remain open to sometimes-surprising learning opportunities.

ABSTRACT Over the past two decades, as in many countries, the use of private tutoring (‘shadow education’) has increased substantially in the Netherlands. Educators and policy makers are raising questions regarding the role that shadow education may play in relation to the traditional configuration of the home and school being assigned the responsibility for children’s education. In five mixed focus groups (n = 43), the authors explored what key players – teachers, parents and tutors – consider to be their own and each other’s pedagogical and educational responsibilities. Results show that two related tensions arise during role allocation: first, the normative question of whether a tripartite configuration which includes tutoring should be accepted or defied; and, second, concerns about tutoring not being equally accessible to students from all social classes. The study indicates that stakeholders’ explication of mutual perspectives on individual and shared roles may yield new schemes of cooperation that are based on collaborative responsibility, rather than competition about individual responsibilities, for student learning.
