Paper Abstract:
|
Based on Andy Hargreaves theoretical framework of emotional geographies, this article attempts to analyze headteachers perceptions of their interactions with parents in Taiwan. By using qualitative interviews with primary headteachers, the research findings show that headteachers emotional distances from parents were intertwined with parents sociocultural status, headteachers moral purposes, headteachers notions of professionalism, headteachers political pretense, and the frequency to contact with parents. |
