Description
Early career teachers were asked to identify what impact policies for improving teacher quality had on their practice. Quality is hard to define, but can be understood by how it was talked about. In this qualitative study, 13 early career teachers from teacher education excellence programs in Queensland and Western Australia were interviewed. Discourse analysis, based on Archer’s theory of reflexivity and Bernstein’s concept of recontextualisation, highlighted that quality was recognised both individually and collectively, as being guided by relational knowledge of their students. A contribution of this study is an understanding of quality as a process of “always becoming”.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
