Preferred term

Life in Classrooms  

Definition(s)

  • With its reflective examination of the social conditions of classroom life, Philip W. Jackson's Life in Classrooms became a touchstone in the dramatic expansion of the concept of curriculum in the second half of the 20th century. Jackson's combination of an ethnographic study of classroom life and quantitative analyses of student and teacher experience revealed that much more was taught in school than the explicit subject matter and that the most lasting lessons might not be intended at all.
