Making Sense of Mass Education provides a contemporary
analysis of the ideas and issues that have traditionally dominated
education research, challenging outdated preconceptions with
fundamental theory and discussion. It takes a demythologising
approach in assessing these issues and their relevance to schooling
and education in Australia. This text examines the cultural context
of education and the influence of external media and new
technologies, and highlights the many forms of discrimination in
education, including social class, race and gender. It looks at
alternative approaches to education, including the repercussions of
gathering data to measure school performance, and considers the
intersection of ethics and philosophy in classroom teaching. The
fourth edition expands on these issues with three new chapters: on
sexuality, children's rights, and neoliberalism and the
marketisation of education. Each chapter challenges and breaks down
common myths surrounding these topics, encouraging pre-service
teachers to think critically and reflect on their own beliefs.
