Teacher identity is one of the key factors influencing the form and quality of educational processes. The aim of our literature review is an analysis of research on teachers' narrative identity in primary and secondary education. We used the Web of Science database and selected studies from 2010–2020 in English. The analysis shows that the area of teacher identity can be viewed from the points of personal and professional identity and their interplay. The data about teacher identity were collected mostly as narratives showing teachers' experience of their profession and their selves. Professional identity is investigated in terms of diversity in classroom discourse, curriculum, and professional development. Research on a teachers' personal identity focuses primarily on gender, parenting, sexual orientation, ethnicity, culture, political orientation, and national identity. The study illustrates an interplay of professional and personal identity.
The aim of this qualitative research was to describe forms of student nonconformity at school and how these were codified. An analysis of 61 student teachers' narratives about their own school attendance gave us some insight into their childhoods. Based on this analysis, we describe the normative worlds of the family and peer collective that can reinforce or weaken student nonconformity at school. The paper then focuses on norms specific to schools and how they are codified. These determine the forms of student nonconformity, which are divided according to five criteria: type of social norm, number of actors, sanctions, students' perception of the nonconformity, and location. This study describes learning outside formal curricula at school as well as students' perspectives and their active role in this process.
