Pedagogical professionalism in the era of accountability

Christian Aabro

Abstract

Based on traditional understandings of the professionalism of pedagogues, the
drastic increase in the use of standardized commercial programs in the Danish ECE
area can be looked upon as a competing demand for professionalization that
threatens to curtail the educators' room for maneuvering. With Evetts (2011), a
preliminary analysis of interviews with pedagogues suggests that this image of
organizational professionalism displacing the original occupational professionalism is
not supported. Rather, it is suggested that professionalism can be regarded as a
series of pragmatic merging strategies, actively carried out by the pedagogues,
between occupational values and organizational demands
