Book launch from the Knowledge and Quality across School Subjects and Teacher Education network
Join a panel discussion with the authors of two of Bloomsbury Academic's most recent books: 'International Perspectives on Knowledge and Curriculum' and 'International Perspectives on Knowledge and Quality'.
Book launch from the Knowledge and Quality across School Subjects and Teacher Education network
16 Mar 2022, 14:00 – 15:30
The panel will first give short overviews of each book and offer some reflections on the contributions of each by drawing on the final chapters in particular before going on to discuss each book in more detail.
Discussing the first book, International Perspectives on Knowledge and Curriculum: Epistemic Quality across School Subjects, they will reflect on ‘trajectories of epistemic quality and powerful knowledge’ across school subjects. These trajectories are related to the specialised knowledge arising from both research-based academic disciplines and cultural and artistic practices.
In relation to the second book, International Perspectives on Knowledge and Quality: Implications for Innovation in Teacher Education Policy and Practice, the speakers will outline how they see ‘subject-specific educational content knowledge as illustrative of critically important aspects of teachers’ powerful professional knowledge. This has significant implications regarding the crucial role of university-based higher education in both initial teacher education and continuing professional development.
In both cases they will draw on several of the empirical studies described in the chapters of each.
Finally, they will provide an outline of the development of a comparative framework for the analysis of learning and teaching across school subjects which they have approached by integrating perspectives from the different research traditions of curriculum studies and subject-specific didactics.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in: teacher educators, student-teachers, teachers, policy makers, curriculum designers and school leaders.
