This chapter discusses the push and pull dynamics that exist between the philosophy underpinning the government endorsed Grades 7-9 MIE English textbooks and the teacher cognition and agency of teachers who use them. The chapter pushes forward the analysis drawn so far to engage in a discussion on textbook conceptualisation, designing and writing by minority textbook writers, as us, the authors of this book. The chapter concludes by mapping out what a complex process any curricular reform is, where the cognition, agency as well as the actions of the different stakeholders do not align.

摘要

This chapter discusses the push and pull dynamics that exist between the philosophy underpinning the government endorsed Grades 7-9 MIE English textbooks and the teacher cognition and agency of teachers who use them. The chapter pushes forward the analysis drawn so far to engage in a discussion on textbook conceptualisation, designing and writing by minority textbook writers, as us, the authors of this book. The chapter concludes by mapping out what a complex process any curricular reform is, where the cognition, agency as well as the actions of the different stakeholders do not align.
