“…Such a description of collaboration forges teachers' sense of professional development and consequently affects their conception of professionalism (p. 94). Nixon et al (1997) have also mentioned that the factor of collaboration is closely related to teachers' professionalism (p. 16). Besides, this factor has been provided in work, although it has not been so frequently reported in this study.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the notions of teachers' professionalism and professional development by investigating the views of in-service primary teachers in Greece. An empirical study was carried out at the In-Service Teachers' Training School of the Department of Primary Education of the University of Patras, Greece. Our research data were collected by using anonymously filled in questionnaires. The results revealed that the teachers of our sample were acquainted with the issues of professionalism and sought to enhance their professional development. They also stressed the importance to be offered more opportunities for lifelong learning education. This study expands our understanding of the factors which affect teachers' professionalism and professional development.

“…Among some parents, this results in feelings of impotence in their interactions with professionals and again to less than ideal parent participation in the school. However, there are indications among teachers more broadly of an 'emergent' professionalism (Nixon, Martin, McKeown & Ranson, 1997) in which their 'sense of professional identity is derived from their capacity to listen to, learn from, and move forward with the communities they serve' (Nixon, Allan & Mannion, 2001, p. 334).…”

While facilitating community participation in disadvantaged schools can be difficult, this article argues that given the structuring of schooling in contemporary western democracies, it is even more difficult than we might imagine. Drawing on Bourdieu, we attempt to elucidate the complex relations between schooling and socio-cultural contexts which can lead to inequalities of opportunity for parent participation in schooling and work to maintain disadvantage for marginalised students. Recognitive justice, with its positive regard for social difference and centrality of social democratic processes, offers us another way of advancing this discussion beyond simplistic attributions of blame. In particular, a politics of recognition is concerned with opening up the processes of schooling to groups who often have been excluded and for their views to be seriously engaged within decision-making processes. This article gives voice to such views, utilising interview data from a small Australian secondary school located in a regional community with high welfare dependency and a large indigenous population. We conclude that to increase parent participation in disadvantaged schools, what is needed is a transformation of the field 'to establish alternative goals and … completely … redefine the game and the moves which permit one to win it' (Bourdieu, 1988, p. 172).
