[Answered] Please follow the Harvard referencing conventions as presented in the referencing documentation available under Moodle Module resources. Write a 1600-1800 word well-researched academic essay that critically examines the concepts of self, agency, and ethics in the educational context, with a particular focus on how both learners and teachers exercise agency to maintain their religious, moral, cultural, or philosophical convictions such as 'self-care' (Foucault) and 'ubuntu' (African philosophy). Your essay should engage with theoretical perspectives on agency, including the provided quote from Priestley et al. (2015), and demonstrate how educators can foster critical agency in students while also reflecting on their own professional and personal agency. Agency is always informed by past experience - and in the particular case of teacher agency this concerns both professional and personal experience. The model also emphasizes that the achievement of agency is always orientated towards the future in some combination of short term and longer term objectives and values. And it illustrates that agency is always enacted in a concrete situation, therefore, both constrained and supported by cultural, structural, and material resources available to actors (Priestly et al, 2015. 10).
