Stories to Live By: Narrative Understandings of School Reform

clandinin, D. Jean, Connelly, F. Michael·1998·Curriculum Inquiry

Abstract

Recently, writers on school change and implementation have shifted from the grand schemes and projects of the 1960s to school-based curriculum development and person-oriented approaches. Though more sensitive to local conditions and to teacher knowledge, these latter-day approaches inadequately recognize that (1) school reform is a complex practice/theory social process in which undirected change is inevitable; (2) schools and their participants have narrative histories; (3) the educational reform literature stretches back deep into the last century and is preceded by a relevant philosophical literature; and (4) school reform is an epistemological matter that involves issues of practitioner knowledge. These four points are elaborated in this article. Also, a sketch is offered of how school reform might be viewed in narrative terms that address these points.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
