Transnational curriculum standards and classroom practices : the new meaning of teaching / edited by Ninni Wahlström and Daniel Sundberg.

Ninni Wahlström is Professor of Education at Linnaeus University, Sweden.

Focusing on the meaning of teaching, Transnational Curriculum Standards and Classroom Practices contributes to a deepened understanding of what it means to be a teacher in an institutional context ranked high on the policymakers' agenda. While the policy literature emphasises efficiency in teaching, educational research demonstrates an awareness of the importance of alternative perspectives on what makes for successful teaching. This book critically examines the conditions and dimensions of teaching as framed in current policy discourse and situates school education in relation to wider societal issues.
