“…Teaching is increasingly perceived as a dwindling occupation, lacking in both prestige and authority. In order to remedy the situation and attract higher level candidates, the teaching profession is being academised during the last decade (Ariav et al, 1993).…”

Parents Who Get What They Want: On the Empowerment of the Powerful

This paper addresses the issue of parent involvement in school life in the newly emerging realm of commodified education. It explores the limits of empowerment and its context-dependent nature. The case under scrutiny is that of parent organising in an established Tel Aviv area, who demanded a share in the shaping of their children's education. These demands were couched in a hierarchy of moderate-status teachers and prestigious parents and backed by the parents' resources and their capability of effective organising. As the case unfolded, conflicts between the parents and the educational system turned into a paralysing factor, which further eroded the teachers' prestige and humiliated weaker parents within the community. Empowerment, commonly hailed as a desirable goal, may thus become an additional resource for the powerful, constituting less resourceful populations as passive and indifferent.

“…Since 1979 colleges for training teachers in Israel have undergone and continue to undergo considerable change. The major alteration has been that they are gradually becoming more academic as institutions (Ariav and Seidenberg, 1992;Ariav et al, 1993). One result of this reform has been an extension of the study program to four years and accreditation to grant a BEd degree together with a teaching certificate (Fresko, 1997(Fresko, , p. 1435.…”

Since 1979 colleges of education in Israel have been re‐conceptualized as academic institutions. The reform includes professional advancement of teacher educators through the creation of four academic ranks. One of the criteria for moving up the hierarchy from one position to the next is engagement in research activity. What benefits can be derived from the growing involvement in research and how can it impact on the individual and the institution? Responses to a questionnaire administered in one college of education indicate that there is agreement among teacher educators that research work can contribute to their need for professional growth and self‐actualization and can contribute to their teaching. However, they agree that research work does not contribute to the development of leadership skills and, although teacher educators are partially ranked for promotion through their research activity, there does not seem to be any increased involvement in the decision‐making processes at the college.
