Abstract

For the past 150 years metrocentric research into rural education in Australia has produced “evidence” of the deficits in rural education. Many of these studies have, unknowingly, silenced rural voices by creating questions and representing data in the hegemonic, metro-centric language of urban based research. The study discussed in this paper (Noone, 2007) was an attempt to bring rural voices to the centre and present an alternative discussion of the “problem” of rural education: one which acknowledged the nature of rural place and the importance of teacherplace relations in rural education. The research explored the nature of the relations between place and becoming-teacher for five graduate teachers in rural schools in northern New South Wales, Australia.
