Description
AbstractThis qualitative study explores teaching and learning cultures in the context of a community-oriented pedagogical development process initiated during Finnish–Palestinian transnational cooperation. Data include focus group interviews and texts produced during a pedagogical training programme with Palestinian university instructors. The study applies poststructuralist discourse analysis to examine teaching and learning cultures as constructed by discourses in and around the Palestinian university. Five discourses of teaching and learning were identified: disciplinary differences, traditional and modern education, improving education, sociocultural and religious context, and political and economic circumstances. The findings show that teaching and learning cultures are fragmented and constructed by the contrasting discourses in and around the institution. As it introduces additional alternative discourses into the institutional meaning-making, transnational collaboration entails a process of hybridisation of (foreign and local) perspectives. Transnational collaborators need to enable discursive transformation and create space for diverse ways of understanding and practising teaching and learning.
