Globalization, 'Glocal' Development, and Teachers’ Work: A Research Agenda
Authors: Weber Everard
The author discusses the evolution of ideas about the relationship between national and international development and educational change since World War II. He critically reviews relevant literature in comparative and international education, focusing on the concept of teachers’ work. The analyses draw on theories of postcolonialism. The author argues that virtually without exception, studies of, and theories about, teaching as work are based on the experiences of the northern hemisphere, particularly developed countries.

How effectively does the Graduate Teacher Programme contribute to the development of trainee teachers' professional values?
Authors: Mead Nick
The graduate teaching program (GTP) is a significant contributor to teacher training. The article describes a study to gain insights into the nature and implementation of professional values of GTP trainees. The findings identify that GTP trainees do have well-established values, and high expectations about implementing them, with varying degrees of coherence between these values and their implementation in teaching, learning and classroom management. There is sufficient evidence to suggest that the highly individualised nature of the GTP does potentially lend itself to a coherent relationship between professional values and practice.
