From Locked Down to Shut Out
This article explores patterns of disciplinary school exclusion before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. It reviews current concerns about formal and informal disciplinary school exclusion and school attendance in England after COVID-19 and develops a cultural historical theoretical understanding of the reasons for rising rates of exclusion. Permanent and temporary school exclusion rates in England were much higher pre-COVID than in the rest of th…
Special schools, alternative provision, and the educational attainment of children with special educational needs in England
Most countries expect children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to attend mainstream schools (MS). English local authorities are committed to this ideal but vary widely in their use of non-mainstream schools (NMS) for pupils with SEND. This paper explores the consequences of these variations for the attainment of pupils with SEND in national examinations at age 16. The paper uses 9-years longitudinal data on an English natio…

The impact of school exclusion in childhood on health and well-being outcomes in adulthood
BackgroundPrevious evidence has suggested a strong association between school exclusion and health outcomes. However, as health risks are themselves related to the risk of experiencing a school exclusion, it has been challenging to determine the extent to which school exclusion impacts later health outcomes, as opposed to reflecting a marker for pre-existing risks.AimThe aim of the current study was to address this challenge in estimating the med…
Difference and school exclusion in a time of Covid-19
The COVID-19 crisis has deepened educational and social inequalities and\nexacerbated different forms of exclusion from education. This article reviews\ncurrent concerns about formal and informal disciplinary school exclusion in England.\nEducational policy discourse in England has tended to seek individual reasons for\nexclusion rather than develop an understanding of exclusion in the wider context of\neducation, social policy and the law. In co…
What Counts as Evidence in the Understanding of School Exclusion in England
Exclusion from school can be regarded as a seemingly simple but in fact a rather complex intervention in response to the “wicked problem” of behavior in schools. This manuscript will discuss what counts as evidence that may used to inform policy and judgments on practices of exclusion. The role of evidence, and how this is measured, has long been an issue of contention in educational research. This is particularly true for research that focuses o…
Learning lessons from the collaborative design of guidance for new build schools
This article focusses on the lessons learnt from the collaborative design of guidance for new build schools in England about the processes of school design, construction and occupation. The study involved headteachers, school building commissioners, teachers and wider school communities thinking about the pedagogic implications of the production of new school buildings. Professionals who had been involved with the development of new school buildi…
Long-term labour market and economic consequences of school exclusions in England
BackgroundPrevious research suggests that school exclusion during childhood is a precursor to social exclusion in adulthood. Past literature on the consequences of school exclusion is, however, scarce and mainly focused on short-term outcomes such as educational attainment, delinquency, and mental health in early adolescence. Moreover, this evidence is based primarily on descriptive and correlational analysis, whereas robust causal evidence is re…
Bernstein and Vygotsky
This paper seeks to further develop and refine a theory of the ways in which artefacts created by humans direct and deflect the attention of groups and individuals as they act in specific institutional settings. It draws on the writings of Basil Bernstein and Lev Vygotsky. These are two bodies of theory that have strengths which, to some extent, address the weaknesses of the other. It is argued that taken together they will provide a strong base …

Young people’s investments in sexual relationships
In the South African context of high HIV prevalence, sexual relationships are entwined with risk. This qualitative study in a rural context examined how young people negotiate sexual practices and engage with this risk. Data was gathered from men and women (aged 15 to 33) in eight focus groups and 11 individual interviews. Abdication of self-care and deprioritization of self in the negotiation of safe sexual practices are reformulated into an und…
Changing schools
This article is concerned with the influences that are brought to bear on the design of school buildings and the effects that the design of these buildings have on those who teach and learn in them. The article also focuses on the ways in which design is altered in and through the practices of these occupants. We argue that there is a mutual shaping of design and practice in these schools. We deploy the theory of socio-genesis developed by Lev S.…
Exclusion from school in Scotland and across the UK
This article draws on findings from the first cross‐national study of school exclusion in the four jurisdictions of the UK . It casts new light on the crucial aspects of children's education that lead to school exclusion. It investigates the reasons for the UK disparities, as well as the policy and practice in place. The focus of this article is on a detailed analysis of the policy context in Scotland, where official permanent exclusion reduced t…
Greetings from Our Foreign Colleagues
Путем вычисления такого индекса, как «размер эффекта» по J. Cohen, определена сила влияния коморбидной патологии (развитие ишемической кардиомиопатии на фоне нейролептической) на морфометрические параметры сердца, характеризующие его состояние на разных уровнях организации. Установлено, что практически все изученные показатели оказываются чувствительными, хотя и в различной степени, к указанному неблагоприятному воздействию. By calculation of suc…
Vygotsky
In this paper I draw a distinction between two strands of argument that have evolved in the wake of Vygotsky’s early 20th century writing. I examine key methodological differences between sociocultural relativism and historical materialism. I then consider the pedagogical implications of these differences. My concern is that the all too common western predeliction for a post modern account yields a deeply conservative approach to pedagogy. In thi…
The Concept of Drama in Vygotsky’s Theory
The article focuses on some aspects of L.S. Vygotsky’s early works, which are interpreted as the under- lying basis of the cultural-historical theory and might be applied while conducting research in the framework of this scientific school. The concepts of “drama”, “pereghivanie” and “reflective communication” as well as their role in applying experimental-genetic method in research are analysed. Results of a research project “Drama and exclusion…
Applying Activity Theory in Multiagency Settings
In this paper I explore the extent to which two approaches to the social formation of mind are compatible and may be used to enrich and extend each other. These are: Activity Theory (AT) as derived from the work of the early Russian psychologists, Vygotsky and Leontiev, and the work of the sociologist Basil Bernstein. The purpose is to show how Bernstein provides a language of description which allows Vygotsky’s account of social formation of min…
An activity theory analysis of learning in and for inter-school work
In this article I will discuss activity theory. This highly influential body of writing is seen as a product of the reworking and extension of the original Vygotskian ideas on the social formation of mind by A.N. Leontiev (1978) and colleagues who had initially worked as part of Vygotsky’s group in Moscow and departed for a new setting with new theoretical emphases in Kharkov. At a very general level of description, activity theorists seek to ana…
Mediation
One of the central pillars of Vygotsky’s contribution to social science is his concept of mediation: the process through which the social and the individual mutually shape each other. His rich, complex and challenging texts focus on a nuanced notion of mediation that was not necessarily visible to those active in the command-and-control climate of the Stalinist era. The article focuses on this notion of the lack of visibility in mediation

Just not being able to make friends’
There is a wide consensus that during their year abroad higher education (HE) language students should improve their language skills in contact with native speakers in the host community. Research shows, however, that many students find it difficult, if not impossible, to make meaningful contact to locals, and some consider the lack of it as a personal failure. Student data from interviews (n = 24) and a nominal voting exercise (n = 12), as well …

Visual Displays as Tacit Relays of the Structure of Pedagogic Practice
This study considers the visual relay to pupils of aspects of their school's pedagogic practice. Two special schools, catering for pupils with moderate learning difficulties, were described in terms derived from a general model of cultural transmission. A representative sample of textual productions, in this case photographs of wall displays, was collected in each school. These pictures were then used as elements in Personal Construct Analysis in…

Ten Hypotheses about Tolerance toward Minorities among Latin American Adolescents
Discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, race, mental and/or physical disability, religious background, HIV/AIDS status, and ethnic origin affects the well-being of minorities and society in general. Recent research in North America underscores the importance of contact with diverse networks, intergroup discussions, a social dominance orientation, religious beliefs, and the school climate, among other factors, to explain tolerance for…

Pedagogic Practices, Tacit Knowledge and Discursive Discrimination
This article is concerned with the transmission of selected criteria of communicative competence in schools. It is argued that different contexts generate different criteria of competence. The study refers to the account of the social formation of mind developed by and after L. S. Vygotsky and also the model of cultural transmission developed by B. Bernstein. The study draws on these approaches in order to examine the relationship between individ…

The mutual shaping of human action and institutional settings
This paper is concerned with the way we understand and investigate the relationship between human functioning and social setting. The central argument draws on the work of Bernstein and Vygotsky. A novel approach to the study of the mutual shaping of human action and institutional settings is developed and an empirical example of its application is presented and discussed. The research reported here is drawn from a four‐year ESRC‐TLRP‐funded stud…
Services for troubled adolescents
This paper outlines some of the main findings from an exploratory study of a sample of 257 adolescents living in children's homes, foster homes and residential special schools ‘for pupils with emotional and behavioural difficulties’ (‘EBD’). It focuses on the characteristics of service users, particularly contrasting the looked after and EBD groups. Though there are some similarities, there are also important differences between the populations i…

Collecting disability data from parents
This article describes the development and national trial of a methodology for collecting disability data directly from parents, enabling schools and local authorities to meet their obligations under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA; 2005) to promote equality of opportunity for all children. It illustrates the complexities around collecting this information and also highlights the dangers of assuming that special educational needs (SENs) eq…
A Sociocultural Approach to Exclusion
This essay review presents an overview of the issues surrounding young people and exclusion, with a focus on the formal procedure of permanent exclusion from school. In so doing, recent literature on the issues is critiqued amongst wider reading. It is suggested that theorisation of the processes of exclusion cannot be done at any one level of analysis. A sociocultural approach requires attention to analysis at individual, cultural, historical an…

Children's Use of Counting and Guidelines in Judging Relative Number
S ummary . Nine 5‐year‐old infant school children, nine children with moderate learning difficulties, and nine children attending a school for the aphasic were selected on the basis of a counting test to judge relative number under three conditions: counting, guidelines, and control. The displays used consisted of two rows of dots and varied in numerosity and configuration. Length consistent displays were judged right by all children in all condi…

Evaluating Teacher Support Teams in secondary schools
Teacher Support Teams (TSTs) are a way of supporting individual teachers who request support over a teaching concern relating broadly to special educational needs. This paper reports on the development of these teams and the evaluation of their workings and impact in four secondary schools. The training and setting up process were monitored over four terms and the impact assessed at the end of this period using a case study evaluation strategy. T…

The ‘Social’ in Post-Vygotskian Theory
In this article some limitations of the increasingly popular theories of the Russian semiotician L.S. Vygotsky will be identified. Emphasis will be placed on the lack of an account of social positioning within discourse as well as the social, cultural and historical production of discourse. At the heart of these concerns there lies an underdeveloped perspective on the social function of language, particularly when it is used to influence interper…
Learning About Cancer
In this article, we discuss the findings of a study about how patients who have been diagnosed with cancer learn about their disease. This is a form of learning that is not often thought of as learning, within the practices in which it takes place. It involves learners who neither possess specific forms of knowledge, nor are sure about what knowledge there is to possess. In medical practice, this form of learning is often referred to in terms suc…

Actualité de Basil Bernstein
La transmission des savoirs permet à tout individu de vivre les frontières, sociales, intellectuelles ou personnelles, non comme des prisons, mais comme des points de tension condensant le passé et ouvrant sur des futurs possibles. Elle met en jeu le droit, pour chacun, de participer à la production d’un ordre social, son maintien, sa modification. Mais pour qu’elle y parvienne, il faut analyser les biais sociaux qui sont profondément inscrits da…

Analysing trajectories of professional learning in changing workplaces
In order to study the mutual shaping of action and institutional setting there is a need for a method of analysing data which provides a window on the contingent and sequential emergence of new ways of thinking and speaking in specific institutional contexts. This paper addresses this challenge through a consideration of the developments that were made during a 4-year study of professional learning in settings which were subject to new legal requ…
