Education, as an academic field taught at universities around the
world, emerged from a range of disciplines including philosophy,
history, sociology, politics/policy, economics and law. Educational
Foundations is the first reference work to provide an authoritative
state-of-the-field mapping of these foundational disciplines,
showing the ideas, methods, theories and approaches that each of
them contributes to field of education. Each of the six volumes is
devoted to the examination of a constituent discipline, namely:
Philosophical Foundations of Education (Volume 1) Historical
Foundations of Education (Volume 2) Sociological Foundations of
Education (Volume 3) Policy Foundations of Education (Volume 4)
Economic Foundations of Education (Volume 5) Legal Foundations of
Education (Volume 6) Each volume covers the same set of key topics
within education which also form the chapter titles, those
topics/chapters are: Mapping the Field, Purposes of Education,
Curriculum, Schools and Education Systems, Learning and Human
Development, Teaching and Teacher Education, Assessment and
Evaluation. This structure allows readers to study the volumes in
isolation, by discipline, or laterally by topic, allowing for
comparative, thematic readings of chapters across the volumes.
Particular attention is paid to social justice issues throughout
the volumes with the authors showing how each discipline works to
combat social justice issues including race, gender, sexuality and
disability. Students, researchers and faculty in education
departments rarely have a thorough knowledge of all of the
foundational disciplines and yet foundations remains a staple
aspect of teacher education and education programmes around the
world. This set allows readers to focus in on the specific gaps in
their knowledge. Including 48 chapters written by renowned
international scholars, this work will define the educational
foundations for generations to come.
