Writing about Teachers: How British and American Ethnographic Texts Describe Teachers and Teaching.

Atkinson, Paul; Delamont, Sara

Teaching and Teacher Education, v6 n2 p111-25 1990

In an analysis of two American and two British texts, ethnographic studies of teachers are compared. The comparison reveals how different the approaches are, although both sets of texts use ethnographic methods, and how the role of the teacher is understood in contrasting ways in the two bodies of research.
