This much-anticipated fifth edition of Exploring Education offers
an alternative to traditional foundations texts by combining a
point-of-view analysis with primary source readings. Pre- and
in-service 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. This edition features substantive updates,
including additions to the discussion of neo-liberal educational
policy, recent debates about teacher diversity, updated data and
research, and new selections of historical and contemporary
readings. At a time when foundations of education are marginalized
in many teacher education programs and teacher education reform
pushes scripted approaches to curriculum and instruction, Exploring
Education helps teachers to think critically about the "what" and
"why" behind the most pressing issues in contemporary education.
