Local Educational Order
Tags: Stephen Hester

The studies in this book take an ethnomethodological approach to educational phenomena. Ethnomethodologys concern is with the locally accomplished and situated character of social order. With reference to educational phenomena, this means that ethnomethodology investigates how the natural facts of educational life, such as daily activities in school classrooms, are produced as such in the first place, rather than taking for granted the recognisability of these facts and then theorising their explanation.
