  • The Role and Development of Teaching Assistants from 1997 to 2000
    THE ROLE AND DEVELOPMENT OF TEACHING ASSISTANTS FROM 1997 TO 2000 DOROTHY ANNE WATKINSON THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY AT THE INSTITUTE OF EDUCATION UNIVERSITY OF LONDON 2002 ABSTRACT This research has studied the role and context of teaching assistants (TAs) in one authority, and in particular in two primary schools. The purpose of the study was to find out how these assistants support the teaching and learning of pupils in the classroom; to identify the factors which influence their effectiveness; and to identify strategies which could enhance their work. The study began with a literature review of the historical perceptions of the role, effectiveness and development of teaching assistants. In order to gain further insight into the assistants' role and needs within the local authority employing the researcher, the study proceeded with a survey of primary schools within the authority, the results of which were circulated to these schools. The results provided sufficient information to enable a rationale for professional development to be defined. The next stage was a close look at the work of TAs in two primary schools which differed in the rationale for employing assistants. An ethnographical approach was used, including observation strategies, some video work, semi-structured interviews and field notes. The results were analysed and categorised. A reflective diary recorded the changes taking place during the period of study. This, along with an updated literature review enabled the findings of the research

  • The Top Jockeys and Trainers, Often Working-Class in Origin, Enjoyed A
    6 Jockeys, trainers and the micro-world of the stable he top jockeys and trainers, often working-class in origin, enjoyed a Tmiddle-class income often equalling that of lawyers or doctors. To the public, jockeys were the object of either venom or veneration as they lost or won. Within racing’s social elite, trainers and jockeys were often looked down upon. As the Times racing correspondent in 1933 commented, ‘the very word “professional” arouses suspicion’.1 Significantly, while lists of breeders and owners in Ruff’s Guide or the Racing Calendar, like racing officials, attracted the honorific title ‘Mr’, trainers and jockeys received only surnames and initials. Yet ‘leading trainers’ occupied an ambiguous and socially higher position than pro- fessional jockeys. In separate lists, like lists of amateur jockeys, their names attracted the socially significant honorific, as when they were breeders or owners. Even top jockeys accepted this social seniority. Steve Donoghue, eight times champion jockey, addressed trainer Fred Darling as ‘Sir’ and spoke humbly to him.2 Such hierarchy was reflected in some major event trophies. For example, the 1933 Grand National trophy for the winning owner was worth £300. The trainer received one of £50 value, and the jockey one worth just £25. Jockeys The social status of jockeys was ambiguous. Some were paradigmatic examples of one of the key sporting myths, that of the ‘self-made man’, enjoying upward social and economic mobility, through talent, hard work and self-sacrifice. Yet jockeys could be despised as decidedly inferior: simply servants, hired to do a job, expected to be tactful, respectful and diplomatic.

  • CULTURE Horseracing and the British
    huggins cvr 8/14/03 12:10 PM Page 1 STUDIES IN POPULAR CULTURE STUDIES IN STUDIES IN ‘This book reveals some major findings, not least about the part that POPULAR POPULAR CULTURE Horseracing racing and betting played in the lives of women, and the sport’s CULTURE inherent conservatism. It is genuinely British in its approach and uses a HUGGINS wide range of primary and secondary sources from across the nation to bring out local and regional variations.’ and the British Wray Vamplew, University of Stirling ROM THE PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR of Flat Racing and British Society F 1780–1914, this is the first book to provide a detailed consideration of the 1919–1939 history of racing in British culture and society and to explore the cultural world of racing during the interwar years. MIKE HUGGINS It breaks new ground by showing how racing’s pleasures were enjoyed even by Horseracing andtheBritish the supposedly respectable middle classes, and gave some working-class groups hope and consolation during economically difficult times. Regular attendance and increased spending on betting were found across class and generation, and women too were keen participants. Enjoyed by the Royal Family and controlled by the Jockey Club and National Hunt Committee, racing’s visible emphasis on rank and status helped defend hierarchy and gentlemanly amateurism, and provided support for more conservative British attitudes. The mass media provided a cumulative cultural validation of racing, helping define national and regional identity, and encouraging the affluent consumption of sporting experience and frank enjoyment of betting. The broader cultural approach of the first half of the book is followed by an exploration of the internal culture of racing itself: the racecourse and course life, trainers and jockeys such as Steve Donoghue or Gordon Richards, trainers like Fred Darling or the Honourable George Lambton, owners and breeders such as the Aga Khan, Lord Rosebery or the actor Tom Walls.
