ABSTRACT

Chapter 9, ‘New Frameworks for Teaching and Learning’, attempts to discuss several further aspects of the analysis undertaken in chapters 6, 7 and 8, and to explore some of the possibilities that might emerge from the different version of education articulated, more or less clearly, in the data. The chapter is organised into two sections. Section one discusses the findings, relating them to the relevant studies reviewed in chapter 5 and the methodology of the study. Section two, based on the second narrative of the crisis seen in the teachers’ responses—the one which is composed of new beginnings, the existence of hope and possibilities for a different future—and on a review of the literature, attempts to re-imagine Greek education. Using the teachers’ views as a basis, this section outlines a different kind of pedagogy, with an emphasis on humanitarianism, care of the self and others, social awareness, critical citizenship, etc.
