Teachers' Strategies for Professional Activities in the Conditions of Neoliberal Educational Reality
Zalewska-Bujak, Malgorzata
Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, v20 n3 p381-410 Jan 2023
Similarly to many other countries, what has been spreading in Poland for about two decades is the global ideology of market neoliberalism. This takes place alongside the aiming at bigger effectiveness of education with the use of some procedures typical of the business sphere. Simultaneously, an excessive focus appears at school on the implementation of such top-down imposed directives and the constantly changing legal regulations. This article is aimed at presenting, on the basis of teachers' narrations in qualitative interviews, the strategies for their professional activities which they create in compliance with their perception of the rules and duties ruling the educational space and subordinated to the indicated ideology. Apart from highlighting these strategies, the analysis of the obtained data has made it possible to show certain important consequences, triggered by the respondents' yielding to the dominating forces and by reaching for these strategies.
