Department of Curriculum, Pedagogy and Assessment (CPA) - (J78)Exploring approaches to social pedagogy in public policy and professional practice. The Centre for Understanding Social Pedagogy (CUSP) arose from a programme of research and development conducted by CUSP members at the Thomas Coram Research Unit (TCRU) since the late 1990s. Social pedagogy applies broadly educational solutions to social problems. We conduct research and development activities and supervise doctoral students in relation to social pedagogy in the UK and in cross-national contexts. We have recently been awarded a major philanthropic grant to develop national occupational standards, professional qualifications and a Social Pedagogy Professional Association (SPPA) and will consult UK colleagues widely in the course of this work. Our partners Thempra and Jacaranda will join us in developing and disseminating high quality social pedagogy training across the UK.

J78 Symposium on Knowledge Education & ProgressDescriptionThis symposium will bring together scholars and teachers interested in exploring the relationships between knowledge, education and progress. As John Hopkin succinctly explains, ‘The idea of education is an idea of progress, an investment in the future of our young people and community’ (2011, 116). The suggestion that humanity is lifted through studying a planned curriculum of learning different disciplines dates to Peter Rasmus (1515-1567). Rasmus built a case for learning from a designated series of books (a curriculum), not just individual scholars, thus opening the potential for the democratisation of education. In 21st century Europe, societies struggle to articulate a positive vision of the future and a vision for education. Ideas of social, economic, moral and political progress are problematised and contested. The idea of progress has been tainted with its past association with colonialism, exploitation and domination and is thus criticized as a genuinely `Western ideal´, a secularized `hollow replica of a Christian conception of history´ or even as a kind of `Prozac for intellectuals´ (Gray, 2004). Some academics now envisage Education After Progress, while others think schools must engage with the meaning of social progress.
