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一个关键工具。然而，封闭的中央集权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的全球经济中的社区期望。这一全球人种志有助于了解教学作为一种职业的变化;提供有关教学中重新排序的关系、跨界需求和边界工作的证据;提出解决职业更新和教师队伍发展的政策解决方案;开发创新的全球研究方法和战略;巩固教育和人类服务工作方面的专家全球网络，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.
