Abstract
This article-based thesis offers a study of how the increasing policy emphasis on children’s school readiness shapes early childhood education and care (ECEC) teachers’ work with children aged between 0 and 6 years. In four articles, I examine how Norwegian and Danish ECEC teachers both challenge and comply with the ruling constructs of school readiness by drawing on various and at times conflicting institutional discourses in their interactions with children, colleagues, parents, municipal authorities, and school representatives. The data for the studies consist of detail-rich transcripts of individual and group interviews with 22 ECEC teachers, describing their work of supporting and assessing the language development of children from minority-language backgrounds. These are coupled with a systematic configurative research review of the existing empirical studies on ECEC teachers’ perceptions of school readiness.
期刊介绍:
British Journal of Sociology of Education is one of the most renowned international scholarly journals in the field. The journal publishes high quality original, theoretically informed analyses of the relationship between education and society, and has an outstanding record of addressing major global debates about the social significance and impact of educational policy, provision, processes and practice in many countries around the world. The journal engages with a diverse range of contemporary and emergent social theories along with a wide range of methodological approaches. Articles investigate the discursive politics of education, social stratification and mobility, the social dimensions of all aspects of pedagogy and the curriculum, and the experiences of all those involved, from the most privileged to the most disadvantaged. The vitality of the journal is sustained by its commitment to offer independent, critical evaluations of the ways in which education interfaces with local, national, regional and global developments, contexts and agendas in all phases of formal and informal education. Contributions are expected to take into account the wide international readership of British Journal of Sociology of Education, and exhibit knowledge of previously published articles in the field. Submissions should be well located within sociological theory, and should not only be rigorous and reflexive methodologically, but also offer original insights to educational problems and or perspectives.
