| Abstract | This article is set in the broad context of debates about the nature of professionalism, in particular the professionalism of teachers in the post-compulsory sector. The focus is on teachers of vocational subjects in further education (FE) in England and on their perceptions of their role and work in preparing their learners for employment. In the context of recent changes to the vocational education curriculum, we sought to ascertain how well they believed they were able to do this work and what constraints and opportunities they experienced in the college. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 22 respondents, drawn from a range of five colleges. All were teachers of either engineering, health and social care, or hospitality and catering. Data analysis involved the identification of key narratives that were used by the respondents to support a discourse (Parker, 1990) of professionalism in vocational teaching. Four frequently occurring narratives are identified, including the need to 'add value' or go beyond the syllabus in particular ways (e.g. to enhance theoretical understanding or to achieve job satisfaction as teachers). The ways in which these narratives position both vocational teachers and employers are discussed (for example, the positioning of vocational teachers as more concerned than employers with the development and well-being of the 'whole person'). Some of the implications of the teachers' discourse for policy and practice in vocational education are briefly considered. (Author). |
