The Emotional Geographies of Parent Participation in Schooling: Headteachers' Perceptions in Taiwan
Chen, Hsin-Jen; Wang, Ya-Hsuan
International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on E-Learning (Lisbon, Portugal, Jul 20-22, 2017)
Based on Andy Hargreaves' theoretical framework of emotional geographies, this article attempts to analyze headteachers' perceptions of their interactions with parents in Taiwan. By using qualitative interviews with primary headteachers, the research findings show that headteachers' emotional distances from parents were intertwined with parents' sociocultural status, headteachers' moral purposes, headteachers' notions of professionalism, headteachers' political pretense, and the frequency to contact with parents.
