Based upon the belief that a “foundations perspective” is a valuable tool in helping to improve schools, this non-traditional text combines a point-of-view analysis with primary source readings.
Exploring Education, 2/e, offers an alternative to traditional foundations texts. This book provides primary readings and a text in one source, challenging material that encourages critical and reflective thinking, and a point of view about the possibilities and limits of schools and teachers in solving educational problems.
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. Exploring Education, 2/e, provides a research and theory based approach that demonstrates the usefulness of the foundations lens for critically examining and solving educational problems.
