Transnational Curriculum Standards and Classroom PracticesThe New Meaning of Teaching\nAuthor(s): Ninni Wahlstrm, Daniel Sundberg\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138087491, 978-1138087491\nSynopsis\nFocusing on the meaning of teaching, Transnational Curriculum Standards and Classroom Practices contributes to a deepened understanding of what it means to be a teacher in an institutional context ranked high on the policymakers agenda. While the policy literature emphasises efficiency in teaching, educational research demonstrates an awareness of the importance of alternative perspectives on what makes for successful teaching. This book critically examines the conditions and dimensions of teaching as framed in current policy discourse and situates school education in relation to wider societal issues.\n\nBased on a four-year research project financed by the Swedish Research Council and drawing on international polic.
