Authors:Chetan Anand, Jyoti Dalal Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. The present research attempts to examine the nature of violence and the manner in which it is experienced in schooling practices. By investigating the everydayness of schooling practices to capture the manifestation of violence, it aims to understand the experiences of marginality by locating it on the state-school continuum. The research has used an ethnographic approach for carrying out field work in a state-run primary school. The data are interpreted in the context of systemic violence in schooling and its interlinkages with marginality which is explored vis-à-vis the nature of state power. The relationship between the state and its margins is conceptualised through the writings of Veena Das and Giorgio Agamben, subsequently examining state’s role in exacerbating the violence. Experiences of the teachers and children in the everyday practices of the school would be studied to understand the indifference of the state. This indifference is then examined in terms of apathy and othering and finally analysed in their relationship to exclusion and violence. The relationship of exclusion to membership and belonging is studied, and it will be argued that the nature of violence that shapes the schooling practices is a product of the indifferent power of the modern state—violence that emerges from doing nothing when there is an urgent need to do something. It is this apathetic indifference of the state and its relationship to violence and exclusion that would be examined in this article.

Authors:Mythili Ramchand Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. Pedagogic Content Knowledge (PCK) is variously considered a useful framework, construct, model and tool to both understand and help form the knowledge base for teaching. There exists extant literature on the PCK of science. Building on this literature, this study aims to contribute towards an understanding of implementing curriculum reforms in teacher education in India, by means of sharing knowledge and practice of using a PCK of science framework in one context. The article reports a one-time face-to-face engagement for 60 hours with 17 student teachers of a Bachelor of Education (BEd) programme. The first section of the article describes the process of engagement. The second section, ‘Analysis of Student Teachers’ Ideas on Science Content’, presents a brief analysis of changes in student teachers’ understanding of the concepts under study, and in the third section, ‘Reflections of the Teacher Educator’, the author provides her reflections of the process of using PCK as a framework for engagement and understanding of PCK as a construct for teaching about teaching science.

Authors:Kamlesh Narwana, Angrej Singh Gill Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. With the upsurge of private schools, parents are struggling with a variety of schooling options. Given the exclusionary nature of privatisation, the market has led to the reproduction of social inequality amidst a plurality of choice. By mapping the school choice process, the article aims to explore school choice in the varied socio-economic milieu in a village in Punjab. Based on the qualitative data collected with the help of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), the study draws linkages between the determinants of school choice and the positionality of parents. The findings of the study dissect the simple yet complex process of school choice along common factors, that is, teachers, quality of education, learning environment, English education and private tutoring. Drawing upon the nuanced analysis of these factors with parental socio-economic background, the study argues that it is important to understand the varied expectations, aspirations and challenges of parents from diverse sections to comprehend the school choice process.

Authors:Harshit Pratap Singh Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. All aspects of our lives, including educational access and quality, are affected by our socio-economic position. This reflective note about the author’s educational experiences describes the interlinkages of caste and education. It talks about how those experiences played an integral role in shaping the author’s beliefs about caste, reservation and merit, and made him challenge the implicit as well as explicit forms of discrimination prevalent in our society. The autobiographical sketch is anchored around the idea of ‘merit’ and the perceived non-meritoriousness of students belonging to the reserved categories (especially SC and ST). These first-hand as well as second-hand experiences of caste-based discrimination paint a contextual and grounded picture of the challenges faced by the author (and other Dalit students) in his education. The note ends with an implicit demand for dignity and the need of acknowledging the struggles of students from marginalised communities by not isolating their experiences from the sociological context that they are part of.

Authors:Navarupa Bhuyan, Nirmali Goswami First page: 16 Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. In South Asian societies, nationalist projects have often relied on cultural symbols drawn from varied native traditions for their legitimacy claims. In a multi-ethnic society like India, with a multitude of narratives about collective pasts, it becomes difficult for such projects to achieve a multi-symbol congruence that is deemed necessary. The schools are key sites where such complex interplay of the production of locality (region) and national identity can be examined. Schools located in the state of Assam afford a vantage point to examine the vexed relation between the national and the regional imaginaries. The article draws on materials collected from a school affiliated to the Vidya Bharati Trust located in Assam. The Trust and the schools run by it have been extensively examined for their focus on promoting a certain ideology of nationalism which is based on the cultural supremacy of Hindu symbols. However, the branches of such schools in Assam carry a distinct regional character in their endorsement of regional icons and of Assamese language. This article examines the dynamics of nation, religion and region within educational spaces in the deployment of visual images and in the curricular materials used in a school named after Sankardeva.

Authors:Emon Nandi First page: 37 Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. This article explores the link between modes of funding, governance and performance in higher education with the help of a case study involving three engineering colleges in West Bengal, India. It examines the major factors driving performances in the selected higher education institutions. It explains how the ability to adopt and implement performative policies depends on the objective functions, mode of funding and the reputation of the institutions. The findings suggest that the obsession with performance and its linkage with funding may not necessarily lead to a sustained and inclusive improvement in quality in the higher education sector. On the other hand, institutions driven by an objective of maximising prestige may ensure quality without any performative governance policies in place. The findings are contextualised in the larger debate about implementing neo-liberal policies for the improvement of quality in the higher education sector at the national and global level.

Authors:Álvaro Moreira Hypolito, Iana Gomes de Lima First page: 59 Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. The main goal of this article is to analyse the Non-Partisan School movement (EsP, or Escola sem Partido) which articulates social and political actors around a conservative agenda for education in Brazil. Based on Ball’s studies, this article analyses political governance networks using a free software, GEPHI, using a qualitative network methodology. The article analyses some relevant social actors in this conservative initiative. The research shows that the Non-Partisan School, though presented as an initiative against ideological indoctrination, is in fact the result of a strong combination of ideological, conservative and partisan interests. The article shows that EsP is a conservative agenda among other movements in the struggle for ideological hegemony in the educational field.

Authors:Dhruv Raina First page: 84 Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. The nineteenth century has been characterised as a period in which mathematics proper acquired a disciplinary and institutional autonomy. This article explores the intertwining of three intersecting worlds of the history of mathematics inasmuch as it engages with historicising the pursuit of novel mathematics, the history of disciplines and, more specifically, that of the British Indological writings on Indian mathematics, and finally, the history of mathematics education in nineteenth century India. But, more importantly, the article is concerned with a class of science and mathematics teaching problems that are taken up by researchers—in other words, science and mathematics teaching problems that lead to scientific and mathematical research. The article argues that over a period of 50 years, a network of scholars crystallised around a discussion on mathematics proper, the history of mathematics and education. This discussion spanned not just nineteenth-century England but India as well, involving scholars from both worlds. This network included Scottish mathematicians, East India Company officials and administrators who went on to constitute the first generation of British Indologists, a group of mathematicians in England referred to as the Analytics, and traditional Indian scholars and mathematics teachers. The focus will be on the concerns and genealogies of investigation that forged this network and sustained it for over half a century.

Authors:Adrienne Lee Atterberry First page: 107 Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. This article asks the following questions: What pressures do teachers face from parents and senior administrators' How do the pressures teachers face from parents and senior administrators affect how they teach students' Specifically, how does this affect the methods they engage in to generate ‘good’ student outcomes' It answers these questions by analysing interviews with 24 high school teachers at an elite international school in Bangalore, a city in southwest India. This article argues that the pressures teachers face from senior administrators and parents to produce high-achieving students result in them engaging in intensive teaching practices. These practices represent teachers’ attempts to produce students capable of earning high grades and entrance into competitive colleges and universities. This article extends our understanding of the factors that shape teachers’ pedagogical practices by making explicit connections between affluent parenting practices and the professional roles of teachers at elite schools. As such, this article makes important contributions to the literature on the sociology of education and teaching.

Authors:Nidhi Gulati First page: 132 Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. This commentary navigates the oeuvre of Ariés’ writings on childhood, family, private life and death, with a focus on interrogating ‘who is a child'’ Departing from the intellectual history prevalent at the time, Ariés deployed the psychogenic approach to study the cultural history of childhood and family. He examines the quotidian experience of aesthetics and other documents of culture to reveal ‘what was thought about' viz. the mentalities’ of childhood and family spanning a vast canvas from the eleventh to the nineteenth centuries. Ariés provocatively proposes that childhood is a modern construct, highlighting that children were not always seen as precious, dependent and in need of adult protection. The magnitude of his intellectual adventure continues to be debated, particularly in childhood studies. The commentary includes an analysis of Ariés’ methods and insights about childhood that unsettle the narrow prisms that refract how we see, understand and educate children.

Authors:Vardini M. Sukumar First page: 180 Abstract: Contemporary Education Dialogue, Ahead of Print. The experiences of people from marginalised communities have always been different in all shared social spaces. This article attempts to unpack the experiences of children from marginalised Boom Boom Maatukarar community of Tamil Nadu inside the classroom. It sheds light on the stigma and discrimination faced by children from this community in order to access school and attain education, which is supposed to have an equalising effect on unequal societies. It also explores the power of stigma and how it acts as an abstract and concrete factor that affects the life and experiences of children from this community.
