| Summary: | The spread of the norm of autonomy of the child in the family and of the student at school has transformed learning arrangements and power relationships in the classroom. Students' submission to the symbolic authority of knowledge and to the educational authority of teachers who are charged to hand on it is declining. The contemporary ethic of discussion, of negotiation, of recognition of the child's rights and liberties puts into question the institutional process of normalization of roles. Against this background, students are more and more required to be autonomous, to control themselves, to get involved into learning and to evaluate themselves in terms of knowledge and moral behaviors. Yet, the learning of autonomy requires specific social conditions, and so the ideal of emancipation behind it might actually conceal new forms of relations of domination. This issue will be tackled by investigating the situation of novice teachers in working-class secondary schools, hence teaching contexts where there is a strong tension between the norm (or value) of autonomy and the dispositions of students. |
