[The SAGE Key Concepts series provides students with accessible and
authoritative knowledge of the essential topics in a variety of
disciplines. Cross-referenced throughout, the format encourages
critical evaluation through understanding. Written by experienced
and respected academics, the books are indispensable study aids and
guides to comprehension.] 'Dipping into this short collection
reveals an eminently useful resource aimed at providing not just a
use-friendly lexicon but also an example of a degree of criticality
for those new to the area of education....the authors manage to
tackle some serious issues with conviction, clarity and concision,
all the while maintaining a sense of humour where comparable
examples merely seem pedantic' - ESCalate 'This is an essential
resource for anyone serious about using the English Language to
talk about teaching and learning....Inglis and Aers provide a
resource for [a common professional language] in their compact and
highly accessible book. It has a sound philosophical rationale in
which 102 key concepts in education are presented alphabetically
and cross-referenced (the book reads like a high quality
hyperlinked web-page)' - www.thinkingclassroom.co.uk 'This is an
engaging and accessible resource which explains various
sociological, philosophical and psychological concepts relevant to
contemporary educational practice. The concepts are succinctly and
sometimes provocatively defined and related to today's pressing
issues. It will be a particularly useful reference tool for
students and practitioners of education alike, with each entry
including references for further reading' - Geoff Whitty, Director,
Institute of Education, University of London 'If you are seeking a
clear guide to principles which should guide public life in general
and education in particular, look no further. Inglis and Aers write
with enviable and compelling clarity. Something for all in
education especially practitioners and policy makers to read and
return to' - Tim Brighouse, recently Chief Adviser for London
Schools and formerly Chief Education Officer for Birmingham This
text provides students with over 100 essential themes, topics and
expressions that Education students are likely to encounter, both
during their courses and beyond in professional practice.
Co-authored to draw on experiences of working within academia,
local authorities and the classroom, the entries provide: - a
definition of the concept - a description of the historical and
practical context - an explanation of how the concept is applied -
an evaluation of the concept - helpful references and suggested
further reading This book will be essential reading for students of
Education, and an invaluable reference tool for their professional
careers. Fred Inglis is Emeritus Professor of Cultural Studies,
University of Sheffield. Lesley Aers is a senior member of a local
authority school improvement service and an Ofsted inspector. Both
authors are former schoolteachers.
