Paperback. Condition: New. Legitimation Code Theory or 'LCT' is having significant impact on research and practice, especially in education. Around the world, scholars and educators are using LCT to reveal the usually hidden 'rules of the game' that underlie achievement in social arenas as varied as education, law and media. These 'legitimation codes' are then taught and learned or mindfully changed to give access and success to more people. This book is the first ever introduction to LCT, written by its creator and based on thirty years of developing the framework in empirical research. It is the book for learning how to creatively enact this approach in your own work.Sociology of Possibility explains the theoretical toolkit of LCT, how its concepts fit together, the ways of thinking they support, and how the framework opens up more possibilities for research. The book carefully defines LCT tools and draws on empirical studies of a wide range of real-world problems to illustrate how they can help you explain more in your research. It shows how these studies embrace the endless diversity of the social world through a shared conceptual language that supports knowledge-building. Chapters also walk you through using the concepts in ways that embrace both qualitative and quantitative methods, both rich empirical description and sharp theoretical analysis, and in interdisciplinary collaborations with other approaches. Sociology of Possibility will open your eyes to the extraordinary empowering and explanatory potential of this innovative approach. If you are looking for a sophisticated framework that will help you offer solutions to real-world problems, whether as a postgraduate student, teacher trainer, academic developer or educator, this book is where you should begin.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This key volume is both timely and important in bringing together for the first time seminal papers and new material to examine an increasingly influential school of thought: realist sociology of education that places knowledge at its heart. This volume covers issues in the sociology of knowledge, the educational system and policy, professional autonomy, vocational education, educational research and teaching, as well as the nature of such disciplines as cultural studies, English, science and the arts. The chapters also directly address the nature of sociology of education itself. The realist position developed in the book challenges two major currents of thought that have for a long time been prominent and influential in sociology and education: postmodernism and progressivism/constructivism. This well-edited collection of papers is provocative and original in that it represents a sustained, collective critique that offers a genuine alternative to these current orthodoxies.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Academic discourse is the gateway not only to educational success but to worlds of imagination, discovery and accumulated wisdom. Understanding the nature of academic discourse and developing ways of helping everyone access, shape and change this knowledge is critical to supporting social justice. Yet education research often ignores the forms taken by knowledge and the language through which they are expressed. This volume comprises cutting-edge work that is bringing together sociological and linguistic approaches to access academic discourse. Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is a long-established and widely known approach to understanding language. Legitimation Code Theory (LCT) is a younger and rapidly growing approach to exploring and shaping knowledge practices. Now evermore research and practice are using these approaches together. This volume presents new advances from this inter-disciplinary dialogue, focusing on state-of-the-art work in SFL provoked by its productive dialogue with LCT. It showcases work by the leading lights of both approaches, including the foremost scholar of SFL and the creator of LCT. Chapters introduce key ideas from LCT, new conceptual developments in SFL, studies using both approaches, and guidelines for shaping curriculum and pedagogy to support access to academic discourse in classrooms. The book is essential reading for all appliable and educational linguists, as well as scholars and practitioners of education and sociology.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Science has never been more important, yet science education faces serious challenges. At present, science education research only sees half the picture, focusing on how students learn and their changing conceptions. Both teaching practice and what is taught, science knowledge itself, are missing. This book offers new, interdisciplinary ways of thinking about science teaching that foreground the forms taken by science knowledge and the language, imagery and gesture through which they are expressed.This book brings together leading international scholars from Systemic Functional Linguistics, a long-established approach to language, and Legitimation Code Theory, a rapidly growing sociological approach to knowledge practices. It explores how to bring knowledge, language and pedagogy back into the picture of science education but also offers radical innovations that will shape future research.Part I sets out new ways of understanding the role of knowledge in integrating mathematics into science, teaching scientific explanations and using multimedia resources such as animations. Part II provides new concepts for showing the role of language in complex scientific explanations, in how scientific taxonomies are built, and in combining with mathematics and images to create science knowledge. Part III draws on the approaches to explore how more students can access scientific knowledge, how to teach professional reasoning, the role of body language in science teaching, and making mathematics understandable to all learners.Teaching Science offers major leaps forward in understanding knowledge, language and pedagogy that will shape the research agenda far beyond science education.…
