A Lesson in Progress? Primary Classrooms Observed in England and France.
Osborn, Marilyn; Broadfoot, Patricia
Oxford Review of Education, v18 n1 p3-15 1992
Discusses a comparative study of elementary school teachers in England and France that preceded the implementation of the National Curriculum in English schools. Reports differences in teaching methods, classroom organization, and teacher student relationships between the two countries. Concludes that greater focus on professional autonomy by English teachers may present problems in increased centralization. (DK)
