TY - BOOK AU - Lutovac, Sonja AU - Uitto, Minna TI - Teachers' work today: Exploring Finnish teachers’ narratives T2 - An International Journal Of Research And Studies CY - Elsevier, 2024 KW - Narrative N1 - This study employs narrative as a theoretical perspective and methodological approach, looking at the current nature of teachers' work from the viewpoint of 25 Finnish basic education teachers. Several categories such as multiple teacher roles and fragmentation of teachers' work, teamwork and multi-professional cooperation, pupils' diverse backgrounds, changed learning skills and behaviour, opportunities and challenges of digitalization, schools' open architecture, and pandemic were identified. These categories illustrate teachers' work today as hectic and changing, involving relational intensification, and as challenging and redefining teachers' identities. The implications for pre- and in-service teachers’ professional development are discussed UR - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0742051X23003669 ER -
