Parent and community relations in Australian schooling, 1940s-2010s: expertise and authority, reform and crisis.

这个项目承担了澳大利亚第一个关于家长-学校-社区关系的国家历史。它考察了公立、天主教和私立学校部门，将学校教育转变的文化史与学校-社区参与的政策史结合起来，在一个以学校和家长之间关于谁的专业知识和权威占主导地位的争论为特征的时期。通过记录“好”教育家长和“好”社区意识学校的历史，并追踪“社区”和“家长”含义的历史和当代变迁和变化，本项目旨在为当前家长参与、社区参与和公立学校权力下放方面的政策和实践提供信息。

This project undertakes the first national history of parent-school-community relations in Australia. Examining public, Catholic and independent school sectors, it combines a cultural history of transformations in school parenting with a policy history of school-community engagement, over a period characterised by contestations between schools and parents about whose expertise and authority prevails. By documenting the history of the “good” educational parent and the “good” community-aware school and tracking historical and contemporary shifts and variations in the meanings of ‘community’ and ‘parent’, this project aims to inform current policy and practice in parent involvement, community engagement and public school devolution.
