From the Back Cover
This text offers an alternative to traditional foundational texts by combining a point-of-view analysis with primary source readings. Pre-service and practicing teachers will find a solid introduction to the foundations disciplines ― history, philosophy, politics, and sociology of education ― and their application to educational issues including school organization and teaching, curriculum and pedagogic practices, education and inequality, and school reform and improvement.
Features:
- Incorporates primary source readings that reflect the most updated perspectives and data, giving students illustrations of concepts and providing opportunities for critical and reflective thinking.
- Includes current achievement data representing the effects of educational reform.
- Offers a point of view that balances realistic analysis of problems and solutions called the foundations perspective. This provides prospective teachers with a view of the opportunities and possibilities of school reform.
- Discusses the separate foundations disciplines ― politics, history, philosophy, sociology ― that make up the foundations perspective giving students a base for understanding each of the foundations.
- Addresses the interdisciplinary application of foundations disciplines to educational problems and solutions showing students the interdisciplinary nature of the foundations perspective.
