Teaching and Learning: Pedagogy, Curriculum and Culture is
designed to share important theory with readers in an accessible
but sophisticated way. It offers an overview of the key issues and
dominant theories of teaching and learning as they impact upon the
practice of education professionals in the classroom.
This second edition has been updated to take account of
significant changes in the field; young people 's use of digital
technologies, the increasing involvement of world of business in
state education, and ongoing high-profile debates about assessment,
to name but a few. It examines the global move from traditional
subject-and-knowledge based curricula towards skills and
problem-solving and discusses how the emphasis on education for
citizenship has forced us to reconsider the social functions of
education.
Central topics also covered include:
- An assessment of the most influential theorists of learning and
teaching
- The ways in which public educational policy impinges on local
practice
- The nature and role of language and culture in formal
educational settings
- An assessment of different models of 'good teaching'
- Alternative models of curriculum and pedagogy.
With questions, points for consideration and ideas for further
reading and research throughout, this book delivers discussion and
analysis designed to support understanding of classroom
interactions and to contribute to improved practice. It will be
essential reading for all student teachers, those engaged in
professional development, and Education Studies students.
