The Teaching Occupation in Learning Societies: A global ethnography of occupational boundary work

教育是政府和社区管理经济和社会发展的重要手段。然而，封闭的集中式国家学校和培训体系的历史模式，无法满足当前政府政策或开放全球经济体中社区的期望。这一全球民族志有助于了解作为一种职业的教学的变化；提供关于教学中重新排序的关系、跨境需求和边界工作的证据；为解决职业更新和教师队伍发展的政策解决方案提供建议；开发创新的全球研究方法和战略；并整合全球教育和公共服务工作方面的专家网络，作为澳大利亚研究的资源。

Education is a key instrument for governments and communities managing economic and social development. Yet the historical model of closed centralised national school and training systems cannot meet current government policy or community expectations in open global economies. This global ethnography contributes to knowledge about changes in teaching as an occupation; provides evidence about re-ordered relationships, cross-border demands and boundary work in teaching; suggests policy solutions to address occupational renewal and teacher workforce development; develops innovative global research methodologies and strategies; and consolidates expert global networks in education and human service work as a resource for Australian research.
