It explores how different spatial contexts affect the workings of the system, drawing attention to differences between Nordic and Scandinavian countries and regional differences within Norway. It appeals to scholars with interests in education, sociology, critical realism, educational sciences, pedagogy, education history, and political science. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 March 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, rooted in the philosophy of critical realism, delves into the temporal and spatial dimensions of Norwegian education. Drawing from the insights of Margaret Archer, who served as a visiting professor at UiT The Arctic University of Norway from 2017 to 2019, the book explores a novel realm for critical realist theorizing by examining how diverse spatial contexts influence the functioning of the system. The book comprises several chapters, each employing a range of Archer's theoretical concepts. These concepts span from morphogenetic cycles and the emergence of educational systems at a macro level to the exercise of reflexivity among individual school leaders and students at a micro level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn contrast to the emphasis on educational uniformity. homogeneity and similarity among Nordic and Scandinavian countries, and the promotion of the notion of the 'Nordic Model,' this book highlights the distinctions between these nations as well as regional differences within Norway. As such, it resonates with scholars engaged in education, sociology, critical realism, educational sciences and pedagogy, education history, and political science, as well as those with a particular interest in the Nordic region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367756772\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Margaret S.Archer,Unn-Doris K.Baeck,ToneSkinningsrud","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104734834938,"sku":"9780367756772","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1648808746671_book.jpg?v=1648831704","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-morphogenesis-of-the-norwegian-educational-system-emergence-and-development-from-a-critical-realist-perspective-9780367756772","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
