Produktbeschreibung
In this research, the transmission of values was
investigated by conducting an ethnographic study of a
secondary church school in England. The study
investigated the manifold ways in which the practices
of classroom teachers communicate values. In
addition, school assemblies, religious services, and
teachers meetings were observed to illuminate the
communication of values in the school s cultural
community. Bernstein s concepts of classification and
framing were modified to analyze the data collected
and determine the expressive and instrumental values
conveyed. Findings from this research identified
values transmitted by classroom teachers and submit
recommendations for teacher-training programs. The
marketing of values by teachers revealed a
disjunction between their stated values and their
actual practices. The conclusion suggest that market
pressures facing English schools were creating
practices which manifested a narrow set of values in
teachers whose pedagogy was reflective of such
influences. This finding was set against the rhetoric
of teachers values and the school s official aims
and values.
