Project objectives
The general objective of LEARNER is to investigate the impact of curricular policies, pedagogical practices, and students’ social contexts in the construction of the learner identity through the articulation of different learning experiences and trajectories during secondary education.
Conceptions
To analyze the conceptions of learning underpinning policy and pedagogic discourses, and to investigate how these understandings are reflected in curricular approaches in secondary education
Enactment
To study the enactment of curricular policies at the school level, exploring how different school contexts, pedagogic approaches and teachers’ practices and beliefs shape different learning cultures in secondary education.
Identities
To investigate the role of different curricular and pedagogic practices, as well as different learning activities and teacher-student interactions, in shaping students’ learner identity and to explore to what extent these practices are aligned with the students’ different contexts of practice and vary according to their social class, gender and origin/ethnicity.
Transformations
To study how the learner identity is transformed, narrated, and reconstructed over time based on different learning experiences/trajectories and future projections and aspirations and to analyse students’ representations of these (potential) transformations and changes.
