Abstract

[Abstract]: Some would suggest that when the pace of change quickens, increased are the pressures on individuals to enact different identities for different times. This appears the case for Technical and Further Education (TAFE) teachers in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector within Australia. The impact of neo liberalism on this sector has produced the new vocational discourse that positions TAFE teachers as certain kinds of teachers enacting particular teaching and curriculum within an education market. This chapter explores how the new vocational discourse and reactions to it, have created a binary between itself and TAFE teachers’ notions of themselves and their teaching.
