The authors focus in particular on the school, a key location within which social and cultural notions of childhood are defined and performed.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is divided into three major parts:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1\u003c\/strong\u003e frames the accepted notions of childhood and schooling, and introduces ethnomethodological analysis as a tool to rethink current versions of the child.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2\u003c\/strong\u003e focuses on how school students become members of a category within the institution of the classroom. The authors explore this idea through transcripts of talk between teachers and students, and amongst students themselves in two classroom studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3\u003c\/strong\u003e looks at the materials of education, concentrating specifically on children's texts. The authors examine how such texts portray a notion of the child within the story, and also assume a notion of the child as reader of the story.\u003cbr\u003eThis important book shows how much is at stake for children in accepting adults' deep-seated notions of childhood. It will be of great interest to educational researchers and policy makers, sociologists of childhood, teachers and student teachers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236132606296,"sku":"9780415263252","price":235.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415263252.jpg?v=1770165929","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/schooling-the-child-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
