This book explores how different classroom discourses and concepts of knowledge permeate teaching in high- and low-performance classrooms. Drawing on empirical research from classrooms in Sweden, it presents a theory-based framework for classroom research. The book examines the central concepts of knowledge, curriculum, pedagogy and equity to discuss differences in access to knowledge and the implications of these differences for students' future opportunities and well-being. It analyses the relationships between different teaching factors and discusses teaching from democratic perspectives developed within curriculum theory. Combining insights from curriculum theory with insights from sociolinguistic and sociocultural classroom research, this project breaks new ground in how knowledge from curriculum content is recontextualised into concrete teaching practices in the context of a standards-based curriculum. Providing valuable insights into the intersections between classroom practice, student performance and teacher expectations, this book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of curriculum research, education policy, teacher education and classroom practice.

Education is considered key for societies to achieve greater social cohesion and equality. Yet, schools, as the main providers of formal education, have increasingly come into question concerning their role in manifesting and perpetuating social categorisations, inequalities and discrimination instead of decreasing existing fragmentations and challenging power relations and hierarchies. As a diverse society, Kenya is faced with power struggles and rivalries between different groups - for instance, along ethnic lines, often constructed deep in colonial history. This affects teaching and learning in school and the result is that Kenya is faced with vast disparities in terms of educational access and success - rendering some social groups marginalised and others favoured. Positioning Diversity at Kenyan Schools explores the ways in which teachers in Kenyan primary and secondary schools experience and deal with social categorisations and diversity in terms of ethnicity, gender, wealth, culture, religion, etc. in their professional practice and in the current education system. Using critical pedagogy and diversity theory as a lens for positioning diversity in Kenyan schools, the questions that this book sets out to answer are: In what ways do the teachers' and schools' practices lead to transformation in terms of more social equality and less discrimination? In what ways do the practices manifest existing group categorisations, hierarchies and discrimination? How can schools and teaching practices in postcolonial Kenya become more inclusive and foster social cohesion and equality?

Il y a cinquante ans, deux universitaires, normaliens agrégés de philosophie, Pierre Bourdieu et Jean-Claude Passeron, publiaient Les Héritiers. Vendu à plus de 100 000 exemplaires, ce livre est même devenu un long-seller selon le mot de Passeron. Six ans après, cette critique de l’école républicaine se radicalisait dans La Reproduction. Loin d’être émancipatrice, cette école contribuerait, en reproduisant les inégalités entre les classes sociales, à la conservation de l’ordre établi. Ainsi se trouvait récusé l’héritage républicain et tout particulièrement celui de l’instruction publique, dont la Révolution française, sous l’impulsion de Condorcet, avait jeté les fondations, et que la « grande République scolaire » de Jules Ferry, Ferdinand Buisson, Paul Bert et René Goblet a édifiée entre 1879 et 1886. Ce livre vise à montrer que cette sociologie de l’école, tout en proclamant l’intention de contribuer à la démocratisation de l’enseignement, en préconisant par exemple l’instauration d’une pédagogie inégale pour des élèves inégaux qui annonçait la discrimination positive des ZEP, a en fait apporté une légitimation intellectuelle à la déréglementation scolaire entreprise par les gouvernements de la Ve république depuis 1959, aboutissant à un démantèlement de l’instruction publique laïque qui s’accentue aujourd’hui.

Les politiques d’éducation prioritaire, ou les politiques publiques équivalentes centrées sur les problèmes d’inégalités scolaires, se sont beaucoup transformées depuis leurs premières formulations et mises en œuvre dans les années soixante. Dans plusieurs pays, on observe le passage d’un modèle de la compensation, à celui de la lutte contre l’exclusion, jusqu’à l’émergence d’un modèle qui fait des thèmes de l’adaptation à la diversité, de la promotion de l’excellence et de la gestion des risques, son credo principal. Cette évolution témoigne des rapports équivoques que ces politiques entretiennent avec les visées sélectives des systèmes d’enseignement. Elle relève moins de choix publiquement débattus qu’elle n’est induite par les modes de définition et de construction sociale des problèmes auxquels ces politiques se proposent de répondre et des catégories de population qu’elles ciblent, ainsi que par la manière dont les sciences sociales pensent la réussite ou l’inégalité scolaire. Pourtant, cette évolution pose de nombreuses questions liées à la dynamique d’effacement de la problématique des inégalités, à la fragmentation des systèmes et des parcours éducatifs, et aux enjeux de savoir et d’émancipation intellectuelle. Ce second ouvrage consacré aux résultats de l’étude comparative EuroPEP vise à mieux comprendre ce qu’il advient de ces politiques dans huit pays européens. Il déploie l’analyse de thématiques transversales qui apparaissent comme autant d’éléments clefs de la constitution et de l’évolution des politiques observées : la construction des formes de ciblage et de désignation de leurs publics bénéficiaires ; leurs modalités d’action pédagogique et de transformations curriculaires ; la production, les usages et les mésusages de leurs évaluations. Il s’attache à contribuer au renouvellement de la réflexion sur les perspectives de justice et d’égalité en matière de scolarité. Priority education policies, or equivalent public policies focused on the…
