Childrens Lifeworlds in a Global City: Melbourne

More about the book

Focusing on the everyday experiences of primary school children in Melbourne, the book explores the interplay between educational policy and children's lifeworlds. It delves into diverse understandings of "success" beyond mere academic achievement, using research methods like surveys and ethnographies. Key themes include school timetabling, engagement, belonging, and out-of-school routines. By connecting children's lives within and outside the classroom, it provides a comprehensive view of their experiences in the context of broader educational policies.
