Exploring teaching as an upper secondary school teacher through lived experience offers pedagogical insights that have been challenged over a period of 25 years, when neoliberal educational policies gradually transformed the conditions for teaching in Swedish schools. The article is grounded in the assumption that the teaching profession is complex and there are multiple tacit dimensions inherent in being and becoming a teacher. Several of these dimensions are captured by the notion of pedagogical tact and have to be learned through practice. However, over the past few decades, the implementation of neoliberal policies in the Swedish education sector have changed the conditions for teaching, and created an area of tension between the teacher’s pedagogical alignment and the educational practices influenced by neoliberal values. The aim of the study is to describe how the author experienced these tensions, and what they meant for her becoming and being a teacher in three different pedagogical sites: a higher education preparatory program, a vocational preparatory program, and in adult education. The description is grounded in the lifeworld phenomenological approach and carried out through personal narrative.

The article presents the results of an educational development project conducted from 2017-2018. The aim of the project was to identify common subject-specific concepts of quality regarding stage performance, with a focus on ability to perform dramatic text. Student assignments in the form of stage performance were video recorded. Thereafter, the documentation was examined and discussed by a team of teachers. Audio recordings from the discussions were analysed using phenomenography. The results are presented in four qualitatively different categories of descriptions and in aspects of the different ways of knowing involved in the phenomenon. In this article, it is argued that this kind of research is essential for designing and developing teaching instructions, giving competent feed-back, and efficiently assessing and grading the students’ work. Moreover, it is argued that being able to identify such quality differences of stage performances is also essential for the student in the future work as an upper secondary school teacher.

Reflections on historiographical developments in the history of Christianity tend to be a rather dry matter. Though dry, however, such reflections are important, since historiographical emphases not only tell us where scholarship has been in the past, but also—since we are directed to look at the longe durée—why we are where we are. Historians tend to be, alas, a herd of independent minds, and there are vogues in scholarship no less than there are in haute couture. A generation ago, few historians used such terms as “discourse,” “construction,” “close reading,” “intertextuality” even as monographs—even splendid monographs—on a burgomaster's daughter would have issued only from the pen of a secondary school teacher in Germany.
