Synopsis
Can there be a science of education, like math or physics, and would that science help teachers do better? This book examines the big question and what it would mean for teachers, schools, and policy. It weighs arguments for and against a systematic, research‑based approach to teaching and learning.
This edition surveys how educators and scholars have approached the idea of educational science. It looks at the role of professional training, the influence of psychology and ethics, and the practical impact on teacher preparation from elementary to university levels. The discussion centers on how a scientific basis could inform methods, materials, and the aims of education, without losing the human, personal side of teaching.
- Read a historical overview of the debate on whether education can be studied as a science.
- Explore how psychology, ethics, and subject mastery might shape teaching methods.
- See diverse views on professional training for teachers and how it might be organized.
- Consider what a rational, evidence‑based approach could mean for classroom practice.
Ideal for readers curious about the foundations of teaching, teacher education, and the possible ways science could support educational aims.
