Popis | This paper presents the findings of the EDiTE theme survey with regard to the thematic pillar “Emerging European Context.” Employing Scharmer’s theory of social fields, the paper brings together perspectives of the EDiTE researchers and supervisors related to the following: (a) participants’ views of the “old Europe” and “future Europe” with regard to transformative teacher learning; (b) perceived challenges and potentials facing an emerging Europe for teacher and student learning; and (c) views on how the EDiTE network can open spaces for a new Europe to come into being. The thematic analysis of the survey’s results indicates a variety of responses about the contextual factors that can facilitate or hinder the development of transformative teacher learning for better student learning. Overall, EDiTE is seen as an emerging leading network of education researchers and professionals, working on all three levels of education policy, research and practice. Bearing this potential in mind, EDiTE researchers can illuminate the “blind spots” concerning teacher and student learning, and achieve the project’s highest future potential through collective commitment to action and social change. Towards the end of the paper, a graph aims to illustrate two parallel processes of thinking about the emerging European context, considering the analysis of the survey’s findings and Scharmer’s Theory U model. |
