Contested Architectures of Mentoring : Support, Supervision or Collective Self-Development
- 2013
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we describe contested practices of mentoring within and between Australia, Finland and Sweden. Our study is based on national policy documents and empirical data from participants involved in mentoring. The theoretical framework will build on practice theory (Kemmis & Grootenboer, 2008; Kemmis & Heikkinen 2012). The aim is to demonstrate three archetypes persisting in literature and practices: mentoring as supervision, support and collective self-development. In Australia, we find the three kinds of mentoring jostling with one another. In Finland, the perspective of collective self-development is emphasized. In Sweden, the traditional model of mentoring (support) has been typical since 1995, with a current reform of teacher induction which turns mentoring more into supervision.Our paper will show (1) that the meanings of 'mentoring' are contested within and between the countries involved; (2) that the three forms of mentoring identified represent three different projects: (a) assisting newly qualified teachers (NQTs) to pass through probation or (b) traditional mentoring of NQTs by more experienced teachers or (c) peer-group mentoring (PGM); and (3) that these three projects, that could be simultaneously present, also involve and imply quite different practice architectures in the form of different materialeconomic, social-political and cultural-discursive arrangements.

Exploring education and professional practice : Through the lens of practice architectures
- 2017. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book was written to help people understand and transform education and professional practice. It presents and extends the theory of practice architectures, and offers a contemporary account of what practices are composed of and how practices shape and are shaped by the arrangements with which they are enmeshed in sites of practice. Through its empirically-based case chapters, the book demonstrates how the theory of practice architectures can be used as a theoretical, analytical, and transformational resource to generate insights that have important implications for practice, theory, policy, and research in education and professional practice. These insights relate to how practices are shaped by arrangements (and other practices) present in specific sites of practice, including early childhood educationsettings, schools, adult education, and workplaces. They also relate to how practices create distinctive intersubjective spaces, so that people encounter one another in particular ways (a) in particular semantic spaces, (b) that are realised in particular locations and durations in physical space-time, and (c) in particular social spaces. By applying such insights, readers can work towards changing practices by transforming the practice architectures that make them possible.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this chapter, we return to the notion of exploring education and professional practices, the key focus of this volume. In the opening chapter, we argued that the theory of practice architectures is simultaneously a theoretical, an analytical, and a transformative resource. Here we highlight some of the ways the chapters in this book have capitalised on the affordances of the theory of practice architectures as their authors have explored education and professional practices. We comment on how, individually and collectively, the chapters contribute to ongoing conversations about particular practices, and our understanding of practices in general.

Coming to ‘Practice Architectures’: A Genealogy of the Theory
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Exploring education and professional practice. - Singapore : Springer. - 9789811022173 - 9789811022197 ; , s. 219-238
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter provides an account, from the perspective of one of the authors of the theory of practice architectures, of how the theory came about and has evolved. The theory was first articulated as the ‘theory of practice architectures’ by Stephen Kemmis and Peter Grootenboer in 2008 in the book Enabling Praxis: Challenges for Education. However, it was many years in the making before 2008, and it has continued to be refined since then through Kemmis and Grootenboer’s engagement in research and conversation with other scholars. The narrative presented here provides insights into many of the theory’s key influences, explaining how and why some of its central assertions and ideas have emerged. Thus the chapter builds on explanations of the theory presented in this book and elsewhere.

-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This chapter discusses diverse views of worlds worth living in, as described by different groups of students, young people, and adults. It also high-lights how the project of research and writing that produced this volume is an example of critical praxis: history making action directed towards realising the good for humankind. Perhaps, in this, it is an example of what Anna Stetsenko calls a ‘transformative activist stance’. In researching and articulating views of worlds worth living in, the contributors to the volume, and the participants with whom they spoke, not only began to imagine worlds worth living in, they also began to realise them.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article examines contested practices of mentoring of newly qualified teachers within and between Australia, Finland and Sweden. Drawing on empirical material collected in a variety of studies, we demonstrate three archetypes of mentoring: supervision, support and collaborative selfdevelopment.Using the theory of practice architectures, we show (1) that the three forms of mentoring identified represent three different projects: (a) assisting new teachers to pass through probation, (b) traditional mentoring as support or (c) peer-group mentoring; and (2) that these three projects, also involve and imply quite different practice architectures in the form of different material-economic, social-political and cultural-discursive arrangements.

Pedagogy, Education and Praxis: An Eleven-year Progress Report from an International Research Network – Part 2
- 2019
-
Ingår i: ECER-conference, September 3-6 2019, Hamburg.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This is the second part of a two-part symposium reporting on the work of the Pedagogy, Education and Praxis (PEP) network, a cross-institutional, collaborative research program which brings together researchers from Finland, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands, Australia, Columbia, the Caribbean, and the UK. These researchers are investigating the nature, traditions and conditions of pedagogy, education and praxis and how they are understood, developed and sustained in different national contexts and various educational settings. The PEP international network emerged in 2005 out of a series of discussions about the ways in which the bureaucratization and de-professionalization of education were eroding the moral, social and political commitments that informed pedagogical practice until the recent past, and a shared conviction of the need for a form of educational research committed to reviving and restoring these commitments. This second part of the symposium will present findings from a systematic review of well over two hundred PEP publications 2007-2018 (books, chapters, refereed journal articles, special issues, refereed conference proceedings and doctoral theses) generated from the PEP research program, Action Research and Practice Theory. This second part of the symposium reports on findings of the 3rd, 4th and 5th of the PEP research questions: What is educational praxis? How, in different national contexts, is good professional practice/praxis being understood, experienced and practised by teachers and teacher educators? How, in different national contexts, is good professional education (that is, educational praxis development) being understood, experienced and practised by teachers and teacher educators? How, in different national contexts, are the changing cultural, social, political and material conditions for praxis and praxis development affecting the educational practices of teachers and teacher educators? What research approaches facilitate praxis and praxis development in different international contexts? The symposium will include and introduction plus five papers presenting brief syntheses of findings from across the PEP research program about each of these questions. Because it addresses all five of the PEP network research questions, the symposium covers several themes of interest to Network 1 including: ways in which teachers and other professionals on the field of education learn and develop throughout their professional career; organisational, historical, situational, and policy contexts in which their professional learning occurs; knowledge that shapes their professional identity or contributes to their understanding and betterment; conditions and practices that improve and encourage professional development.
