Temporal, spatial and embodied relations in the teacher's day at school

Abstract: In this paper, we draw on a cross-cultural ethnographic study conducted in two secondary schools in Helsinki (Finland), and two in London (UK). In our analysis of everyday life in schools, space is not merely a backdrop to activities that take place, it also shapes processes and activities, and spatial relations are simultaneously temporal. Here, we follow teachers' daily time-space paths in schools, from corridors to staff rooms to classrooms and breaks. We explore how spatial arrangements limit and control t… Show more

“…It is my contention that the spaces of onsite design schools are more than a backdrop for learning (Holland et al . ); they are, instead, affective places that do much unattended to pedagogical work. Further, I argue in this article that fresh understandings of how affect in onsite design school is assembled, and what it contributes to the making of novice designers, can provide clues to improving the online design student experience.…”

“…Education and its concomitant process, learning, are co-constructed and messy phenomena, with complex interactions in play amongst the three chief components of educational practicenamely, the learners, teachers, and curriculum. Ethnography has proved a valuable methodology for negotiating the messiness of compulsory education (Putney & Frank, 2008;Holland, Gordon, & Lahelma, 2007;Gustafson, 2009;Robinson, 2008), although it has featured considerably less in higher education research (Pabain, 2014;Cousin, 2009). The 'methodological orientation' of ethnography enables the researcher to experience the context and people under study at first hand, and not become reliant solely on spoken accounts of experience in focus groups or interviews (Hammersley, 2006:4).…”

“…Noise is an unwanted sound from a business or activity at a certain level and time that can cause human health problems and environmental comfort that are spatially and temporally spread [8] [9] [15] or all unwanted sounds that originate from the devices -production process equipment and/or work devices at a certain level can cause hearing loss [10]. Spatial and temporal distribution are related [16]. Spatial is the spread related to space, while temporal is the spread associated with the cycle of time.…”
