tandfonline.com – Teachers, performative techniques and professional values: how performativity becomes humanistic through interplay mechanisms

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT In recent years, research has pointed to the development of ‘post-performative’ teachers and cultures within the education system.
