The fourth edition of this text retains much of the structure and content of the third edition, whilst benefiting from significant changes which take account of educational issues that have arisen in recent years. The text covers a wide range of topics clearly, and in depth, including: further education, home-based teaching, educational research and grading and examining.In line with current thinking, this edition places increased emphasis on educating outside and beyond the school, and pre-school. Every chapter ends with "signposts" which encourage students to pursue ideas and themes raised in the text, and the references and suggestions for further reading have been comprehensively updated and expanded to facilitate this.
