The role of teacher expertise, authority and professionalism in education

该项目旨在提供关于教育在现代民主社会中的作用的新见解，特别关注教师和教师专业知识。具体而言，该项目将使用来自三个西方民主国家-澳大利亚，联合王国和美利坚合众国-的案例研究，以调查教师在这些教育系统中的作用，以及当代政策和实践如何影响他们的专业知识和权威。该项目采用创新的比较案例研究方法，将增进对学校、专业知识和民主之间的关系以及教师在这些空间中的作用的了解。

This project aims to provide new insights about the role of education in modern democratic societies, with a particular focus on teachers and teacher expertise. Specifically, the project will use case studies from three Western Democracies - Australia, United Kingdom, and the United States of America - to investigate the role of teachers in these education systems, and the ways in which contemporary policy and practice is impacting their professional expertise and authority in their classrooms and schools. Using an innovative approach to comparative case studies, this project will advance knowledge about the relationship between schools, professional expertise and democracy, and the role of teachers within these spaces.
