Films about education provide many of the most popular
interpretations of what teaching and learning mean in schools. An
analysis of this medium reveals much about the historical,
cultural, political, and philosophical dimensions of education.
Timely and engaging, this book fills a gap for scholarly and
informed public commentary on the portrayal of education in film,
offering a wide range of conceptual and interpretive perspectives.
"
Teaching, Learning, and Schooling in Film "explores several key
questions, including: What does it mean to be a good teacher? How
do these good teachers instruct? When is and what makes teaching
complex? What constitutes learning? Do educational reforms work?
The book s interdisciplinary group of contributors answers these
important questions in essays highlighting Hollywood, independent,
and documentary films. Prospective and practicing teachers will
engage with the thought-provoking educational issues raised in this
book and gain insight into the complexities of teaching and
learning portrayed in film."
