Produktbeschreibung
Researched utilizing a qualitative approach, this
exploration into rural and urban teaching captures
the experiences of eight Canadian teachers and their
personal views concerning rural and urban schools.
The groundwork preceding this study is described,
the results of the study are presented, and a
theoretical analysis of the research findings is
discussed incorporating concepts of teacher
identity, Deweyian philosophy, and socio-cultural
ideologies. Via teachers personal narratives,
comparable and contrasting characteristics of rural
and urban education are exposed. The information
herein highlights the importance of community
context when educators and educational stakeholders
contemplate teacher and student behaviors. While
expanding upon existing Canadian and international
research conducted on the topic of rural and urban
education, this study not only adds breadth to the
subject matter, but a rich Western Canadian
perspective. This contextualized study should be
especially relevant to professionals within the
field of education and readers with an interest in
rural and urban education.
