Recommended: What are the implications of labeling theory in the education system

Using Goffman’s (1974) frame analysis, the basis for reconstructing labels in the classroom is to allow both the teacher and the student to recognize their role in the classroom is not about establishing systemic affiliation tied to institution’s administrative purposes. That is, by defining labeling individuals as setting up a framework that connotes specific rules for people to follow, different labels will enable different framework that people will apply themselves to react. Goffman (1974) formulates that people “perceive events in terms of primary frameworks” which can help explain the disconnection that students feel in a school setting as the primary framework they are interacting with is the state-sponsored corporation (p 24). If labeling

  • Gerald Graff Other Voices Other Room Summary

    1228 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the essay, “Other Voices, Other Rooms” from Inquiry to Academic Writing, Gerald Graff argues that students learn things differently from class to class and are not taught to use information from one class in another. This is a problem especially in higher education today because there is such a large gap from professor to professor. Although the disagreement from one subject to the next may seem like a problem to some, if there were no disagreements, nothing would be worth learning. While these problems may occur, they are essential in the evolvement of education. Without these disagreements there would not be any search for more information to solve the problems. Also, students would not be motivated to continue to learn. The disagreements between the two are what seem to confuse students, but what confuses them more is how the education system is set up. Students must learn to make

  • Framing Theory: Analysis Of The Civil Rights Movement

    646 Words  | 2 Pages

    Framing theory was chosen for the analysis of the civil rights movement because it’s understood as a theory that places “[...] emphasis on the intentional ways in which movement activists seek to construct their self-presentation to draw support from others” (Oliver & Johnson, 2000:1). It’s seen as a tool that allows movements to present their movement to the general public, an image or symbol that might have be considered as relatable to a number of people; in order to receive support. It’s a behavior that provides people with the opportunity to make sense of the grievances that confronts them, as well as their daily lives (Oliver & Johnson, 2000:5). It’s “[...] a thought organizer, highlighting certain events and facts as important and

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Bells Hooks's Teaching To Transgress

    1618 Words  | 4 Pages

    In her article entitled Teaching to Transgress, Bells Hooks effectively speaks to her readers by using the rhetorical strategy of personal narrative, argumentation, and exemplification, in order to call for a “renewal” (29) of teaching method called “engaged pedagogy” (35). By this Hooks means teachers should not merely call on students to participate in class discussion, but also call themselves to be “vulnerable” (49), taking the risk of coupling their points of view, or “confessional narratives” (49), with that of their students, defusing an image of an “all-knowing” (49) teaching authority as a result. Though Hooks’s theory is clear, and her methods of argumentation and exemplification introduce her pedagogical theory, her method of personal narrative requires that the reader be able to relate to her daunting experiences. As a result, readers who have had different experiences to those of Hooks’s might miss her point because they cannot relate to her.

  • The Education System

    In conclusion, education is broader than just falling into what the contemporary school system has to offer. Both Gatto and Graff proved this by explain how conforming students to certain perspectives of education limits their potential in other educational branches that interest the students. Also, curricula should bring a balance between making a school a place for obtaining information, and accommodating the educational demands for each individual student. It is imperative to understand that reforming the academic system, by fine-tuning schools to have its students learn what exactly they are interested in, will lead to having students accessing their full intellectual potential.

Each frame provides advantages, but also comes with certain weaknesses (Bolman and Deal, 2013). It takes multi-frame thinking to understand the full picture of the situation. Using a wide angle lens that includes all four of the frames to evaluate situations is the way to promote good leadership skills. Single frame leaders will fail, but good leaders will take multiple looks at the situation to find the best frame to apply.

    In combining both theories, legitimation theory acts as a method to unravel the results of these systems. The theory details that institutional education has far reaching effects throughout society besides just “the training and allocation of students (Meyer 2016:146).” Similarly, legitimation theory places greater focuses on the “individual effects of socialization and allocation (Meyer 2016:146).” Each theory, socialization, allocation, and legitimation, aim to discuss one aspect of the current educational system and environment. These theories go further than place students into certain societal categories or levels, they have allowed education to become an institution which justifies the assignment of elite roles to some, while not to others (Meyer

    Currently, public schools operate predominantly on an entirely different educational philosophy system than free or alternative schools. Teachers employed by public schools tend to function largely under an essentialist philosophy. This philosophy dictates using more traditional settings and teaching styles to teach merely the basic skills to students. Only information considered pertinent to a student’s success in his or her academic career is taught in the classroom. Further supporting this philosophy, information is transmitted to students in the most efficient and quickest way – often in the appearance of lecture and notes format. In order to impart the maximum amount of what is considered by these teachers to be essential, efficient knowledge, order and discipline ought to be maintained (Gutek, 2011).

  • Teaching History and Geography in the Constructivist Classroom

    We must first look at the need for a constructivist approach in a classroom, to do this we think back to our days in primary school and indeed secondary school where textbooks we like bibles. We were told to take out our books, look at the board, and now complete the exercise on page z. This approach in a class is repetitive, the teacher holds authoritarian power and learning is by no means interactive. “In a traditional classroom, an invisible and imposing, at times, impenetrable, barrier between student and teacher exists through power and practice. In a constructivist classroom, by contrast, the teacher and the student share responsibility and decision making and demonstrate mutual respect.” (Wineburg, 2001) This approach focuses on basic skills and strict adherence to the curriculum. Children are being forced to learn through repetit...
