The Political Implications of Defining Relevant INSET.
Lomax, Pamela
European Journal of Teacher Education, v10 n2 p221-29 1987
The norm of relevance is central to teachers' professional identities, and therefore, decisions about the form of inservice education for teachers (INSET) are crucial for professional autonomy. Relevance is affected by notions of practicality, age, gender, seniority, and area of specialization. Teachers' views of relevent INSET are examined and compared with political norms. (Author/MT)
