Teachers‘ professional autonomy and working conditions in Icelandic Compulsory schools
What is Teachers‘ professional autonomy and working conditions in Icelandic Compulsory schools?
In recent years, there have been changes in Icelandic society due to increased inequality and the concentration of wealth in certain areas in the capital area. These changes have affected the composition of students in schools and the working environment of teachers.
About
The aim of this study is to investigate how experienced teachers experience these changes in the school community and how their working conditions and professional independence are determined by the social context in which their school operates. The study is a case study based on Bourdieu’s theory.
