- W96184294 abstract "Controlling the Imagination is an exploration of the tensions embedded in the notion of quality when it isused in relation to the teaching and managing of Adult Language, Literacy and Numeracy, with specificrelation to 'Skills for Life' — New Labour's policy attempt, instigated in 1999, to improve the basicskills of adults living in England. The thesis offers an analysis that charts the development of discoursesaround quality from the vague and attractive transcendental quality of the 18th C artisan to its object liketextualisation in the Common Inspection Framework. Through critical discourse analysis and interviewdata with teachers and managers in further and adult education colleges graded as good or outstandingin their most recent ALI / OfSTED inspection, the text traces the contours along which practitionersexperience the tension between quality-as-professional-aspiration in contrast to quality-as-demanded bypolicy. This axis, wrenched apart in several directions, is further complicated by the tension betweenquality-as-abstract and quality as embodied in day-to-day experience. I argue that practitioners talkabout quality in ways that journey through these competing and contrasting meanings. In considering theimplications of these ideas about quality, the thesis explores the research, policy and practice nexus.Research can inform policy and practice, but it can also lead to uncomfortable and unsettling conclusionsthat to some extent also unframe professional practice.Key concepts: quality, adult literacy, professionalism, policy, Skills for Life, basic skills, research and practice, furthereducation," @default.
