Understanding classroom in dilemmatic spaces2014 •
With the articulation of new ‘Holistic and Balanced Assessment’ initiatives in Singaporean schools, a new standard of conceptualising and enacting classroom assessment is expected of Singaporean teachers. This paper draws on findings from a study of the diversity of classroom assessment ‘concourse’, representing the variations in conceptions among the case studies of Singaporean primary- and secondary-school Music teachers, higher-education Music teachers and policy-makers. As such, the emphasis is on unravelling the multiplicity of significant relationships of conceptions within the specific context of Music teachers' classroom decision-making environments. The different conceptions from the Q-factor analysis, in particular, have revealed underlying bases of common and different views of classroom assessment. This suggests that classroom assessment, like many aspects of classroom teaching and learning, is not a stable entity. Rather, it is highly variable, contested and irreducibly situated in a specific context. The imagination, conviction and commitment of Music teachers, can inspire the wider education fraternities to consider how assessment can be compatible and complementary to the creativities of learning and teaching in the classroom.

Education as "Dilemmatic Field2018 •
Psychology of education must discuss a number of relevant ethical, political and societal issues that cannot be simply overlooked as non pertinent to the discipline. For too long educational and developmental psychology have take divergent routes and have not enough dialogued with other fields such as pedagogy. I argue that it is first of all necessary to conceptualize the work of schooling, that is educational processes of teaching and learning in specific social contexts, as complex and dilemmatic fields. I discuss contributions from the past and current debate to support my claim that education is inherently ambivalent and dilemmatic, while educational psychology is too often normative and prescriptive. As many authors have discussed educational processes as battlefields between political and economic tendencies, we cannot avoid to discuss the relationship of such tendencies and the developmental processes of the person. The work of schooling is an action projected towards an ima...

Teacher educator dilemmas: a concept to study pedagogy2011 •
To disclose the inner process of teacher educators’ dealing with their different roles and their coping with conflicting demands, the study of dilemmas encountered in practice may offer a promising perspective. Building on previous research on teaching dilemmas, this study uses a comparative approach to disclose teacher educators’ views on pedagogy. Qualitative interview data from within the Turkish context are contrasted with datasets from Israel and The Netherlands to gauge common notions on the pedagogy of teaching student teachers. The findings indicate shared dilemmas across contexts acting as key constraints to the teaching of teacher educators, which are mainly related to implementing pedagogy, while differences across contexts found mainly had to do with orientations and views on teaching. In this respect, the concept of dilemmas is a fruitful way of disclosing these constraints and perspectives.

Investigating dilemmas in teaching: towards a new form of pedagogical scholarshipThis article investigates five dilemmas that emerge from analysis of a brief episode of classroom practice: issues concerning the design and management of the classroom discussion, the use of drama in teaching, teacher handling of pupil disturbances, and the advantages and drawbacks of competition. We argue that such dilemma-driven analysis is missing from current pedagogical scholarship, in which analyses tend to be theory-driven and narrower in their scope. Our aims are to (a) do justice to the richness and complexity of classroom activity and the work of teaching; (b) illustrate a means of working with representations of practice that is likely to facilitate the development of teacher professional judgment; and (c) uncover some of the central dilemmas experienced by Israeli primary teachers. The data are drawn from a sixth grade Hebrew language lesson in an Israeli state primary school.
In this discussion, I shall present a general account of dilemmas - including, as I shall explain, both practical and epistemic dilemmas. According to this account, dilemmas are analysed in terms of conflicting values. Roughly, a dilemma is a case where every available response is in some way worse than some other available response; as I shall explain, this implies that there must be plurality of conflicting values, which disagree about how to rank these responses in relation to each other. After proposing and defending this conception of dilemmas, I shall characterize three kinds of dilemmas: as I shall call them, resoluble dilemmas, unreal dilemmas, and irresoluble dilemmas. The first and second kind of dilemmas are in a way untroubling, but there is no denying the troubling character of the third kind of dilemma. Unfortunately, it seems undeniable that irresoluble dilemmas of this third kind are possible; how widespread they are is a question that requires further investigation.

Implicit and Explicit Conflict: Implications for Educational Relations.2017 •
To talk about conflict means to define it immediately, because the interpretation of this concept in its most extreme and negative version is widespread. Armed conflict, labour dispute or school conflict are just some different declinations of it, which help to identify the conflict in the collective imagination with its polarized version, as a traumatic and undesirable event. There are plenty of authors (Burton, 1990; Jares, 2002; Entelman, 2002) who speak about the conflict, but I especially refer to the concept of conflict that provides Vinyamata (2004), who defines it as "fight, disagreement, apparent incompatibility, conflict of interests, perceptions or hostile attitudes between two or more parties (...) It is inherent to life itself, it is in direct relationship with the effort to live". Thus, I problematize the conflict as an inherent and permanent social situation in the subject, whether individual or collective, due to the uniqueness of it. Uniqueness enables subjects to find scenarios in which their preferences diverge from those of others, establishing the conflict. However, it is necessary to clarify that the conflict does not have to be between competing visions, but may be between different perspectives which, thanks to the intermediation of the dialogue, can be solved. Standing in the field of education, the conflict occurs in all areas related to educational process and spaces, either explicitly or implicitly. The social organization of time and space, the curriculum and the student-educational center relationship are some of them. However, I will focus on the impact that the conflict has on the pedagogical processes that occur within the classroom.

Contradictions and conflicts: Researching school as conflictual social practice2019 •
How can theoretical psychology develop concepts for analyzing connections between subjective dilemmas in everyday life and contradictions in historical social practice? We discuss this question by analyzing conflicts related to problems in children’s school lives. One frequent conflict is whether school problems should be explored in relation to individual deficits and deviations, family background, how the school is organized, the societal task of education, etc. However, such conflicts often become concealed by psychological concepts, which contributes to individualization, categorization, and the displacement of problems. We argue that theoretical development of the concept of conflict may support the widespread endeavors to transcend such reductionism by developing contextual and dialectical understandings of personal dilemmas. Through examples from empirical studies, the article illustrates how political conflicts concerning societal institutions (such as schools) form part of ...
