{"product_id":"the-feral-classroom","title":"Feral Classroom","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1983, The Feral Classroom argues that the experience of schooling needs to be understood in terms of peer interaction in the classroom. Students’ interaction mediates the significance of the curriculum and teacher, and is, in its own right, a major agent of socialisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe study reported in the book was conducted in an Australian state high school. It employs ethnographic techniques focused on students’ accounts of relations and activities with classmates. Concepts embodied in these accounts are interpreted through models of school and peer group as agents of socialisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume fills several gaps. It is the first book to describe at length students’ accounts of classroom interaction; to give equal weight to boys’ and girls’ accounts; and to describe dominant students’ determination of the use of classroom norms and of the definition of performances. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers including, but not limited to, teachers, educational administrators, and sociologists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49803850121560,"sku":"9781032891224","price":107.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032891224_a657c5e0-f24a-4b68-9563-14ab329e8b92.jpg?v=1770458453","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/the-feral-classroom","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
