Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper, I use a debate between Albert Einstein and Henri Bergson about the nature of time as a heuristic tool to understand the nature of teacher subjectivity. This debate outlines notions of time as measurable and time as duration or flow. These two interpretations of reality, one from a physicist and one from a philosopher, are used to examine the bi-Discoursal nature of the teacher identity An ethnographic participatory action research project in a preschool class in England finds that teachers operate as both physicist and philosopher, sometimes simultaneously. At times, the teacher is a physicist, measuring the geometry of child development and comparing it to a fixed point of normative expectations. At other times, the teacher is a philosopher, existing in the moment with children. The simultaneous existence of these two identities is a cause of anguish, forming a conflicted and contested self.
“我感觉自己是两个不同的老师”:教师主体性的分裂自我
本文以爱因斯坦和柏格森关于时间本质的争论为启发式工具来理解教师主体性的本质。这场辩论概述了时间是可测量的,时间是持续时间或流动时间的概念。这两种对现实的解释,一种来自物理学家,另一种来自哲学家,被用来检验教师身份的双重话语本质。英国一个学前班的民族志参与性行动研究项目发现,教师既是物理学家又是哲学家,有时是同时进行的。有时,老师是一位物理学家,测量儿童发展的几何形状,并将其与规范期望的固定点进行比较。在其他时候,老师是一位哲学家,与孩子们一起活在当下。这两种身份的同时存在是痛苦的原因,形成了一个冲突和争议的自我。

期刊介绍: Pedagogy, Culture & Society is a fully-refereed international journal that seeks to provide an international forum for pedagogy discussion and debate. The identity of the journal is built on the belief that pedagogy debate has the following features: •Pedagogy debate is not restricted by geographical boundaries: its participants are the international educational community and its proceedings appeal to a worldwide audience. •Pedagogy debate is open and democratic: it is not the preserve of teachers, politicians, academics or administrators but requires open discussion.
